Cristian Romero has decided whether he’ll leave Tottenham in the upcoming transfer window amid interest from Atletico Madrid.

The news outlet reports (27 March) that Simeone is a big admirer of the 26-year-old ahead of the summer transfer window.
| Competition (2024/25) | Appearances |
| Premier League | 14 |
| Europa League | 2 |

With the Argentine national’s current deal expiring in 2027, Los Rojiblancos could be his next destination.
Postecoglou won’t be worried about Romero
Postecoglou is fighting for his job at Spurs after what has been an abysmal campaign for them, as they sit 14th in the Premier League.
The Australian manager is arguably lucky to still be in a job after being knocked out of the Carabao and FA Cup.
Daniel Levy has usually been trigger-happy at the North London outfit over the years, making the former Celtic boss’ continuity surprising.
Tottenham are still alive in the Europa League, and Postecoglou undoubtedly has a chance to save his blushes by winning the competition.
The Lilywhites will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-finals, and defeat against the German outfit may lead to the Australian manager’s sacking.
Romero could also potentially rethink his future at the North London outfit if they fail to win against the Bundesliga club.
The World Cup winner will undoubtedly be hoping to win trophies in the coming years and could possibly decide to leave Spurs for pastures new.
Atletico are competing against the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga, making them an exciting prospect for most players.
