Real Madrid Eyes Premier League Stars for Defensive Reinforcements: “If the Price Is 40 Million…”

After securing stars like Alphonso Davies and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is aiming to complete a triple transfer success by targeting a Premier League standout. The club has its sights set on Tottenham’s Argentine defender Cristian “Cuti” Romero, with the potential to bring him in for around €40 million.

Real Madrid’s scouting team, led by Juni Calafat and Santiago Solari, is pushing hard for Romero, recognizing his experience and quality as key assets for the team’s defense. His ability to quickly adapt would make him a valuable addition to the squad.

However, the major challenge lies in the transfer fee. With a contract lasting until June 30, 2027, and a market value of €65 million, Tottenham’s chairman Daniel Levy is known for being a tough negotiator. Convincing Spurs to let Romero leave for a reduced fee will be no easy task.

Multiple Options on the Table

Real Madrid has several alternatives up its sleeve, especially since Romero is not their primary target. While he is highly regarded, the club is also tracking other players who fit into their long-term sporting project. These include both younger talents and seasoned veterans who could join as free agents in 2025.
