Cristian Romero will play for Atlético de Madrid next season, according to Fabrizio Romano. The agreement between the clubs has been finalized with Tottenham for a package worth €40 million, including add-ons.
Gastón Edul and Matteo Moretto have also confirmed the deal. The Argentine arrives after a transfer window with several previous moves that ultimately fell through.
Inter’s interest had already collapsed in July. Barcelona, meanwhile, decided not to move forward with the deal just a few days ago.
Arsenal was also mentioned as a possible destination, but Tottenham never considered selling him to a direct Premier League rival. That left the path clear for the center-back’s arrival at Atlético.
Romero strengthens Atlético’s defense ahead of next season. Simeone thus adds another internationally proven center-back to his squad.
