The long-standing flirtation between Cristian Romero and Atletico Madrid has finally come to an end after more than two years. Los Colchoneros launched another offensive for the Argentina international this summer and, according to British Sky Sports, there are no obstacles remaining — “Cuti” Romero will become a new Atletico player, finally fulfilling Diego Simeone’s wish. Atletico will pay Tottenham 35 million euros up front, with a further five million in bonuses, while Spurs will also retain 15% of any future sale. Simeone has never hidden his admiration for his compatriot and had already told Atletico’s hierarchy last June that he wanted Romero in his squad. The first serious contacts were established back in 2024 after the Copa America, while Romero himself spoke in May last year about his desire to play in La Liga.Spurs: Pride, belief and captain’s betrayalThe main obstacle at the time was Tottenham’s 70 million euros asking price, which forced Atletico to explore other options…
