Thomas Frank makes his stance on Cristian Romero clear amid Tottenham exit rumours
Alasdair Gold has weighed in on reports suggesting that Tottenham have agreed on a fee with Atletico Madrid for Cristian Romero and has revealed what Thomas Frank and Spurs’ stance is on the World Cup winner.
Spurs fans got extremely nervous when news emerged from Argentina on Sunday that Tottenham had accepted a £55.5m offer from Atletico Madrid for Romero.
However, Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge rubbished the claim, insisting that Spurs have not accepted any bid for Romero.
Tottenham Hotspur fans can now breathe even easier about the future of the 27-year-old following the latest update by Alasdair Gold, who has shed light on what the Lilywhites are thinking about the Argentine defender.
Thomas Frank and Tottenham want to keep Cristian Romero
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has revealed that Thomas Frank wants to keep Romero at the club for his first season in charge at N17.
Gold also says that the claims of a fee being agreed between Spurs and Atletico are wide off the mark, even though the La Liga giants remain keen on the centre-back.
He explains that the efforts of Diego Simeone’s side to prise away the centre-back have failed so far, with Tottenham not willing to let the former Juventus man leave.
Gold adds that Spurs have made it clear that they will not sell Romero for anything less than a fee worthy of one of the best defenders in the game.
How far away are Spurs and Atletico from reaching an agreement on Romero price?
Last week, AS claimed that Atletico and Spurs are just £9m apart in their valuation of Romero and asserted that the Spanish side are set to restart negotiations for the centre-back with the Lilywhites soon.
Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo claimed a few days ago that Romero’s absence from Tottenham’s kit release videos may be a hint that he is leaving.
However, it does not appear as if the Premier League side have any replacement lined up at the moment, which may indicate that they do not expect their vice-captain to exit the club.
