According to Argentine media Olé, Atlético Madrid is preparing a bid for Cristian Romero from Tottenham Hotspur, and Romero is prioritizing a move to Atlético Madrid.

Romero has once again attracted attention from top clubs. Atlético Madrid is preparing a new offer for the Tottenham Hotspur centre-back, and this time they have a potentially advantageous factor: despite strong interest from Inter Milan, Romero is prioritizing a move to Atlético Madrid.

Atlético Madrid's interest in him is long-standing. Simeone previously included the defender as one of his priority targets in the last transfer window, but the deal did not materialize because Tottenham Hotspur demanded around €55 million to open negotiations.

Now, that interest has resurfaced. According to Marca, Atlético Madrid is preparing an opening bid of approximately €30 million, attempting to reopen negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur and push through a signing that Simeone has never abandoned.

Additionally, Atlético Madrid has another factor working in their favor: Romero's own preference. The centre-back renewed his contract until 2029, but the agreement includes a clause that leaves the door open for a future transfer to Spanish giants.

When Romero signed with the English club, his transfer value already exceeded €70 million. However, according to reports at that time, the new contract included a special clause: if the interested party is Atlético Madrid, the price is €60 million.

It should be noted that this clause applies not only to Atlético Madrid but also to Barcelona and Real Madrid. Barcelona has consistently included the Argentine defender on their wishlist, and Real Madrid has previously shown interest. However, the situation is different now, and these figures may not determine current negotiations.

Inter Milan is currently the most determined competitor. According to Italian sources, Inter has proposed a fixed transfer fee of €35 million plus €5 million in variable bonuses, which exceeds Atlético Madrid's opening offer.

Barcelona continues to monitor Romero, but they are currently in a relatively distant position. Barcelona has various options at centre-back, and whether they will launch a concrete pursuit of the Argentine player will depend on whether personnel changes occur at that position first.
