Atlético target Romero focused on Tottenham’s situation | OneFootball

The Argentine defender Cristian Romero dismissed speculations about a possible transfer to Atlético de Madrid at the end of the season, stating that his priority is to keep Tottenham in the Premier League.

Romero played as a starter on Wednesday in the 3-2 victory over the Spanish team, a result that was not enough to secure a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals, but served as a moral boost for the London club.

On Tuesday, coach Diego Simeone had praised Romero, a player who has been on the club's radar for years. But the Tottenham captain sought to downplay the matter during an interview with the Spanish press after the game.

“The truth is that I am focused on the situation we are going through at the moment. I have a deep affection for the club and want to finish the season in the best way possible,” declared Romero in the mixed zone of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

“The most important thing for me right now is to recover my energy to help Tottenham,” added the 2022 World Cup champion for Argentina.

The English team ended a sequence of eight games without a win and finally secured their first victory under coach Igor Tudor.

Tottenham (16th) hosts Nottingham Forest (17th) this Sunday, at a time when they have only a one-point advantage over the relegation zone.
