Real Madrid are considering making a move for Tottenham standout centre-back Cristian Romero. – Epl Fantasia

The Argentine player was transferred to Tottenham from Atalanta in August 2021 for around £42 million ($53.8 million). Since then, he has become one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League. However, Tottenham could find it difficult to retain the 26-year-old as Real Madrid closely monitors his progress, according to ESPN.

Although Tottenham conceded 61 goals last season in the Premier League, it is plausible to say that without Romero in their defense, they could have conceded even more. Losing someone of his caliber would be a major setback for Ange Postecoglou's team. However, Madrid's appeal could present an offer too tempting to reject if it materialises.

Since his debut for Tottenham in August 2021, Romero has played 98 games in all competitions, scoring six goals and providing one assist. He has started 96 of those games, underscoring his importance to the team. While fans of both Tottenham and Real Madrid eagerly await the development of this transfer rumor, Romero could feature in Argentina's final warm-up match against Guatemala on Friday night before the match. The Copa América starts next week.
