Tottenham interested in Cristian Romero, AC Milan set price
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Cristian Romero from Atalanta, but AC Milan have set a high price for the defender.
Romero, 23, has been one of the most impressive centre-backs in Serie A this season, and has helped Atalanta to qualify for the Champions League.
Tottenham are in need of a new centre-back, and Romero is seen as a potential long-term replacement for Toby Alderweireld.
However, AC Milan are reluctant to sell Romero, and have set a price of €50 million for the defender.
Romero is a versatile defender who can play in a number of positions across the back line.
He is comfortable playing on either foot, and is good in the air and on the ground.
Romero is also a good passer of the ball, and is able to play out from the back.
Tottenham are likely to face competition from other clubs for Romero's signature.
Manchester United and Real Madrid have also been linked with the defender.
However, Tottenham are confident that they can persuade Romero to join them, and are prepared to meet AC Milan's asking price.
Romero would be a welcome addition to the Tottenham squad.
He is a young, talented defender who has the potential to become one of the best in the world.
If Tottenham can sign Romero, it would be a major coup for the club.
