Gold has ‘good news’ on Romero to Spurs

Taking to Twitter, sharing his latest piece for football.london, Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Alasdair Gold has dropped some ‘good news’ for supporters regarding Cristian Romero.

The Lowdown: Spurs in Romero talks…

Tottenham have been in talks to sign the Argentine for over a week, with Sky Sports first detailing a £34m (€40m) offer to Atalanta for his services.

The Serie A side remained stubborn over their asking price for Romero, however, despite the player himself ‘pushing’ for a move to north London (Fabrizio Romano).

Now, correspondent Gold has shared some ‘good news’ on the transfer saga in a timely boost amid the Harry Kane news.

The Latest: Spurs closing in on Romero…

As per the journalist, writing for football.london, Tottenham are now closing in on a deal to sign Romero with talks in the ‘final stages’.

Indeed, Spurs are confident that a €50 million (£42.7m) move will be completed after extensive talks with Atalanta as they eye a third major summer signing.

Personal terms are already agreed and Romero himself is keen to join Spurs, with Gold sharing the article on his Twitter feed and writing:

“At least some good news this morning as the move for Cristian Romero is finally edging towards completion in what is going to cost Spurs around 50m euros.”

The Verdict: Welcome update…

As the reports of Kane unrest grow stronger and stronger after he missed training today, this news on Tottenham’s number one centre-back target comes as a welcome update.

Fabio Paratici is looking to oversee a major defensive overhaul before the transfer window deadline on August 31 and he could hardly start with a better capture than Romero.

Winning the Serie A MVP award for best defender in 2020/2021, he also averaged a mighty 3.1 interceptions per 90 over 29 league starts – far more than any Spurs player managed in the Premier League (WhoScored).

At 23-years-old and with plenty of years ahead at the top level, potentially snapping Romero up for £42.7m is a phenomenal bit of business.
