Tottenham Hotspur are one step away from winning the Europa League.
The North Londoners have had their worst season in a long time, but they could still finish with a trophy – their first one in over 17 years.
Spurs face Manchester United in the final of the Europa League, and they should be viewed as the favourites to win, having beaten the Red Devils three times already this season.
Winning the competition will take Tottenham back into the Champions League, and that could help them attract top players.
But, there could be a problem internally.
Cristian Romero makes final decision on Tottenham future
Cristian Romero’s Tottenham future has been up in the air for quite some time now.
The Argentina international is one of the first names on the team sheet at Spurs when he is fit. He has his problems with discipline at times, but on his day, he is an ‘outstanding‘ defender.
Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Romero this summer. He has publicly claimed that he would like to play in Spain too.
Furthermore, Atleti star Julian Alvarez has urged Romero to join him in Madrid next season.
Now, GiveMeSport have revealed that Romero is set to push for a move to Atletico Madrid this summer – he has made up his mind.
The report claims that even if Tottenham win the Europa League final against Manchester United, Romero has no plans of sticking around.
For his part, Daniel Levy is ready to sell Romero, but his demands are unsurprisingly high.
How much money Tottenham are demanding for Cristian Romero
Levy is one of the best negotiators in the game.
Tottenham fans have their issues with him for the way he runs the club, but he deserves credit for his ability to keep hold of his best players more often than not.
Romero clearly wants to leave Tottenham this summer, but for his wish to be fulfilled, Atletico Madrid will have to meet Levy’s valuation, which, according to GMS, is £65 million.
Diego Simeone’s side, however, have been hoping to get this deal done for £40 million.
It remains to be seen if the two sides can meet in the middle once negotiations begin following the Europa League final later in May.
