The negotiations to bring Cristian Romero to the Nerazzurri are becoming even more complicated. According to Argentine journalist Gaston Edul, an expert on matters related to the Seleccion and its protagonists, Atletico Madrid is accelerating its pursuit of the Tottenham defender.

The Milanese management had reached an agreement with the Spurs for the transfer of the Argentine center-back, but has not yet reached a deal with the player’s entourage. Meanwhile, the Colchoneros are preparing to present an offer equivalent to the one made by the Nerazzurri. The sales of Molina and Almada have given the Spanish club the financial margin needed to move in the market.

As revealed by Matteo Moretto, Atletico has already reached a total agreement with the player and his entourage this morning. The first offer from Madrid for the player’s card was rejected by Tottenham, but according to rumors coming from Spain, a new bid is imminent that could definitively close the deal. In the background, there is also interest from Arsenal, but the most active club in the negotiations appears to be the one from the Spanish capital.

The Milanese team risks missing out on their target due to the lack of sales of Pavard, Asllani, and Frattesi, who continue to block room for maneuver in the incoming transfer market.
