Real Madrid have reportedly made a €100m transfer bid for Tottenham central defender Cristian Romero, according to Fichajes.

Los Blancos president Florentino Perez has apparently sought to intervene in the club’s difficult season by coming in with a big offer for a top defensive player to turn the team’s campaign around.

Romero has shone for Tottenham, so could be a good option for Real as they continue to struggle to show their best form.

The Spanish giants were beaten 4-2 by Benfica in the Champions League last night, with caretaker manager Alvaro Arbeloa failing to have much of a positive impact after replacing Xabi Alonso.

Tottenham surely won’t sell Cristian Romero to Real Madrid

It’s hard to imagine Spurs will want to let a key player like Romero leave the club in the middle of the season, even for such a big transfer fee.

Thomas Frank’s side aren’t having the best season, so it would surely be a big mistake to let one of their most important players leave now.

At the same time, however, it might be that Tottenham could do major work on rebuilding their squad if they were to bank as much as €100m from one player.

THFC need a lot of work done in a number of areas, so that could be a good way to generally improve the team, even if would obviously be a big risk.

There’s not much time left in the transfer window, for one thing, so it seems hard to imagine this will really amount to anything at this stage.

Still, Madrid need to do something in defence because it seems clear that their current squad just isn’t good enough and this looks like ending up being a hugely disappointing campaign at the Bernabeu.

  1. I know it will be unpopular opinion but I would take the money and bring vuskovic back and play him. we have a habit of not taking huge offers and then regretting it later- Alli for one. with this money we would have £250m to spend on players to significantly improve the team.

    1. There’s no clause for a recall on that loan, Frank wanted him out for the whole season. Because he’s quite incompetent in noticing talent……… The most stupid move Frank have done is loaning Vuskovic out, I said before the season that he was ready for the Prem….

  2. let’s destroy THFC by selling a major part of the squad, the leader who’s contributing in defence and attack. Cuti is a unique player that cannot be replaced. we lost Bale and Modric to them, we can’t lose Romero to them or any other club!

    1. I would drive hi there myself . . . . .cash in now, an average defender at best, and a proper hot head too . . . . .

  3. Bite their hand off. Most inconsistent rash captain there is. Not heard this story anywhere so is likely garbage as usual.

  4. SELL HIM!
    Sadly it’s only rumours speculation and gossip from lazy journalists who know f-all about what goes on at Spurs BUT take the £87m it amounts to IF an offer comes in ……fingers crossed as
    Romero’s a liability and has been for years.

    He’s NOT World class….he played in a World Cup winning team…..so did Lo Celso…..there’s a difference.
    THEN get Vuskovic back from Hamburg.

    This would be likened to Campbell being allowed to leave as we had a ready made player in Ledley King to step up. Danso is no mug either and imo, MORE reliable than Romero.
    IF offered take the money, it’s a no-brainer!

    1. Also you are clueless, there’s no callback possible for Vuskovic. Is it so hard to understand it is a whole season loan? Frank is so sure Vuskovic doesn’t cut it that he contemplates making it a two season loan….
