Highly sought after in the transfer market, Cristian Romero is attracting interest from several European giants. However, the competition is set to be fierce for the Tottenham Argentine defender.

Cristian Romero is one of the most coveted defenders of the summer. Indeed, Manchester United have set their sights on the Tottenham Argentine, determined to strengthen a backline that showed its weaknesses last season. However, the deal promises to be particularly challenging: Romero extended his contract with Spurs until mid-2025, and his release clause is set at €60 million.

While this amount is certainly within reach for a major club, United are not alone in the race. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and especially Atlético Madrid—who are reportedly very persistent according to the Spanish press—are keeping a close eye on the situation.

As a result, the Red Devils will need to step up quickly if they want to avoid being overtaken. The battle to secure the Spurs' defensive rock is only just beginning.
