Atletico Madrid has announced the signing of center-back Cristian Romero. The Argentine defender becomes the club's fourth new acquisition, with the Madrid side reportedly paying around 40 million euros for the player. Spanish media suggest the deal is even more favorable, claiming that "Los Colchoneros" have agreed with "the Spurs" on a fixed fee of 33 million euros, plus an additional 7 million in bonuses.
Late last night, Romero posted an emotional farewell to Tottenham fans on social media. Diego Simeone had expressed interest in him last summer, but it's only now that both parties have reached an agreement. The Argentine himself has signed a five-year contract, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2031.
