Madrid Says 'No' Despite Already Having His Transfer on Track: This is the Reason

The white club is passing on this player even though his transfer seemed close and won't risk this position's future

The white team knows perfectly well that, looking ahead to next season, there are a significant number of additions they need to make. In this sense, the central defense seems to be one of the great needs that the Whites have right now. For this reason, the eye they've set on a player in the Premier League seems to be the right decision apparently.

However, the management would have reconsidered due to the latest statistics of the club he's currently at. We're referring to Cuti Romero, world champion and player for Tottenham, where he's not performing at the level expected by the English. In the current season, he doesn't have a single clean sheet, showing the great problems in defense.

That greatly worries the British team, which can't find solutions, but also Real Madrid. This is because they had him on their list of possible transfers and now he's practically ruled out completely.

They'll look for other options

The Argentine has been one of the key pieces both for his national team and for Tottenham to become a more competitive team. However, this season, due to injuries, he hasn't been able to play more than 1100 minutes in total this campaign.

That's why the English club is going through one of its worst moments defensively, and it shows quite a bit in their standings. This has caused doubts regarding his incorporation, and that's why they're considering the idea of passing on this possible transfer.

Florentino Pérez knows perfectly well that the club's need in defense is one of the main points to strengthen, but not at any cost. That's why he's decided to completely pass on this incorporation, even though for many he's world-class.

We'll see if he recovers

Right now, what the management most hopes for is to see if the footballer can recover from this terrible moment. A point that could change the outlook regarding his incorporation and, in this way, bring him to the best club in the world. However, as long as this continues, his arrival is practically impossible.
