Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering selling Romero, but have successfully renewed the contract of their star player, Van der Wenger.

Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur are in advanced talks with La Liga club Atletico Madrid over the transfer of Argentine centre-back Cristian Romero.

Although Romero was once close to joining Inter Milan for £35 million, he prefers to play for Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid is prepared to match Inter's offer. It is understood that Romero has reached personal terms with Atletico Madrid, and the transfer will be completed after Atletico Madrid clears up space in their squad.

It's worth noting that Tottenham's arch-rivals Arsenal, facing a serious back injury to their star player Saliba, attempted to sign Romero, but Tottenham decisively rejected the offer. Tottenham made it clear that they would not sell their key player to a Premier League rival.

With Romero's departure imminent, Tottenham's defense has received a boost. Dutch center-back Micky van de Ven, after speaking with new manager Roberto De Zerbi, was impressed by his coaching vision and has decided to stay, with plans to sign a new five-year contract.

After Tottenham narrowly avoided relegation last season, Van der Weng considered leaving the team, but this decision has given the team a much-needed boost.

Tottenham Hotspur have been aggressive in the transfer market this summer, signing defenders such as Jan Paul van Hek and Marcos Senesi, bringing their total spending to over £200 million. De Zerbi revealed that the team's reinforcement plan is 60% complete, and they are still actively searching for new attacking reinforcements.
