Real Madrid is close to strengthening its defense with a top-level transfer. The Argentine Cristian "Cuti" Romero, a key player for Tottenham, is reportedly on the verge of wearing white.

Tottenham has reportedly secured the transfer of Milan Skriniar for 30 million pounds (about 40 million euros). This move paves the way for Romero's departure. The Slovakian central defender, currently at PSG, is seeking a new destination after being left out of Luis Enrique's plans.

Real Madrid's interest

The club has Cuti Romero as a priority to strengthen its defense. His performance with Argentina and in the Premier League makes him a strategic transfer. Additionally, his character and leadership perfectly align with Real Madrid's philosophy.

The defender arrives with the endorsement of being a world champion in Qatar 2022. His ability to anticipate, strength in duels, and skill with the ball position him as one of the best central defenders in the world.

Florentino Pérez is confident in closing the transfer in the coming weeks. The player has a market value of 65 million euros and the deal could be closed for slightly less than his value.

However, Tottenham is known for being a tough negotiator. Real Madrid estimates that the deal could be around 50 million euros.

Movements in the market

Romero's departure from Tottenham would leave a significant void, but Skriniar's arrival would compensate for the loss. Meanwhile, Real Madrid would be adding an elite reinforcement to its defensive line, which seeks to consolidate after Militão's injury.

The potential addition of Romero has caused excitement among the fans. Supporters trust that his arrival will bring solidity and hierarchy to the team, especially in key competitions like the Champions League.

The agreement seems imminent. Just waiting for the official announcement to confirm that Cuti Romero will be the new leader of Real Madrid's defense.
