The Galacticos are desperate to sign a new central defender after missing out on Leny Yoro to Manchester United this summer. Madrid are eager to bolster their defensive options and have taken an interest in Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero.

The 26-year-old has enhanced his reputation on the international stage after winning the Copa America with Argentina this summer. His solid defensive capabilities and leadership acumen make him an attractive option for Carlo Ancelotti.

🚨 Real Madrid are interested in signing Cristian Romero but Tottenham insisted he was untransferable this summer.

The situation will be revisited in 2025, with Romero's contract ending in 2026.

But Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has asked an eye-watering £150 million to secure Romero’s services to fend off interest from the Champions League warlords.
