Romero's move to Atlético Madrid comes after a reported interest from Internazionale, which ultimately failed in July. The Argentine defender joined Tottenham Hotspur from Atalanta in the summer of 2022 for 50 million euros. During his time at Tottenham, Romero won the Europa League and helped the team secure a spot in the last game of the season.
Romero's time at Tottenham was marked by a mix of success and injury. He missed the last game of the season due to a knee injury, but was present at the season finale despite initial concerns. The defender also played for Argentina in the World Cup, reaching the final last summer.
Romero's transfer to Atlético Madrid marks the end of his five-year stint at Tottenham Hotspur. He will now join Diego Simeone's team in the Spanish capital, where he will play alongside other top defenders. The transfer deal is expected to be completed in the coming days.
