Real Madrid is reportedly facing challenges in strengthening their center-back position.
The club had been linked with Leny Yoro from LOSC Lille, but reports suggest the young defender may have chosen Manchester United instead.
With Rafa Marin and Nacho Fernandez departing, Real Madrid’s defensive options are limited to Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao, and the currently injured David Alaba.
Jesus Vallejo has returned from loan but is dealing with fitness issues, leaving manager Carlo Ancelotti to rely on inexperienced prospects like Joan Martinez, Jacobo Ramon, and Raul Asencio.
According to Doble Amarilla, Real Madrid has inquired about Tottenham’s Cristian Romero, reportedly willing to offer €50 million for the Argentine defender.
However, Tottenham has informed the Spanish club that Romero is not for sale.
Romero, 26, has become a crucial player for Tottenham over the past three years, recently being named vice-captain.
He has also enjoyed success with Argentina’s national team, winning two Copa America titles and the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Given Romero’s importance to Tottenham and his contract running until 2027, it’s highly unlikely that the London club would consider selling him, especially for the reported €50 million offer.
While Real Madrid may admire Romero’s talents, a transfer appears extremely improbable this summer.
