Tottenham star Cristian Romero is said to be attracting interest from Real Madrid this summer. Los Blancos are defensive additions to Carlo Ancelotti’s team after replenishing their forward line with the signings of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick.
Ancelotti led Real to the La Liga title despite a defensive injury crisis at times last season. Midfielders Aurélien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga were forced to play in defensive periods last season.
Romero has excelled at the Spurs, who will be desperate to remain Argentine. However, ESPN Argentina reports that Real will look for a move for the 26-year-old if they sign a central defender with more experience.
The Spanish giants are one of many clubs linked to Lille teenager Leny Yoro. Liverpool and Manchester United are following the 18-year-old Frenchman’s situation.
Lille have shown that Yoro and teammate Jonathan David will be allowed to leave this summer. However, Real may only be looking for more experienced players, as Ancelotti is aiming for some other La Liga and Champions League doubles.
Romero formed a wonderful partnership with Micky van de Ven last season. Ange Postecoglou said after a 3-2 loss to Arsenal in April that he needs Spurs’ young players to build from the combative defender.
Postecoglou said after the game, which still sealed Spurs’ failure to qualify for the Champions League: “It’s exceptional. He’s a World Cup winner and I just have to put a little bit of what he has in him in others. “
Tottenham are expected to lead a busy summer move-in window. Postecoglou admitted that several stars could leave in the coming months, paving the way for significant improvements.
The contract of the club’s record signing, Tanguy Ndombele, acquired in 2019 for £62m, has been terminated. The midfielder was on loan last season at Galatasaray and has been playing for Spurs since December 2021.
Meanwhile, Spurs appear to be interested in Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher. Les Bleus would possibly have to sell players before the June 30 deadline for the deals to come into effect in the 2023-24 season, in order to avoid a breach of profits and sustainability. Regulations.
However, Chelsea are reportedly valuing Gallagher at around £50m, and Spurs will pay that fee. The 24-year-old is currently part of England’s Euro 2024 squad and could only start the Three Lions Group C opener against Serbia on Sunday.
