Tottenham are said to have submitted a ‘monstrous’ bid to land prime defensive target Cristian Romero.
Romero quickly became a target for Spurs and their new transfer chief Fabio Paratici after impressive performances for club and country this season.
The centre-back starred in yet another impressive campaign for Atalanta, as they finished third, and he followed that up by winning Copa América with Argentina.

During this season, Romero’s loan spell with Atalanta was made permanent, but it seems he could be on the move already.
Reports claim Tottenham are very interested in a move and that Romero himself is also keen to make the switch to north London.
Meanwhile, CalcioMercato via SportWitness claim Spurs have made a ‘monstrous’ offer of €55million in a bid to complete the move.
It’s reported that Atalanta could still make things difficult for Tottenham, but it’s stated that this sizable offer comes after Spurs made it clear they would be making a ‘final offer’ for Romero.
That means this could be a Atalanta’s last chance to make a quick buck after only spending around £13.6million to sign Romero permanently this summer.
Other teams around the world are quick to say Levy is money grabbing, but just look at the profit Atalanta stand to make and yet STILL they want more.. The evidence speaks volumes for itself. Shame on them! I will never criticise Levy for wanting to grab every penny again!
Sadly the likes of Levy are only truly appreciated when their gone.
In years to come history will show that he saved and rebuilt the club from when we were mid table, broke, and destined for being relegated and already living of past glories.
We need to make this happen. Other clubs are buying CBs and we need to also.
Toby has gone, he was great, but we had his best years and he needs to be replaced. I would get Milekovic in also. CCV looks like moving, and so should Sanchez and Dier. We need to bring on Japhet and Rodon and we will have a young, fast aggressive defence for the future.
The clear out also needs to include Auier, Doherty, Winks, Sissoko, to move forward. My XI would be (343) Lloris, Rodon, Milekovic, Romero, PEH, NDombele, Lo Celso, Gil, Son and Kane..
Not wrong dude,Atlanta have been brutal.
