Tottenham have made a huge €55 million (£46 million) bid for Juventus ace Cristian Romero according to a report from CalcioMercato.it.
Central defence is clearly an area where Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo wants to strengthen.
Toby Alderweireld has left Tottenham and is en route to Qatar.
Meanwhile, the jury is still out on Davinson Sanchez and Joe Rodon.
Tottenham make massive Romero bid
Calciomercato.it reckon that the north London outfit have lodged a £46 million bid for 23-year-old centre-back.
What a brilliant signing the Argentina international would be for Spurs.
In 31 Serie A outings during a loan spell with Atalanta last season, Romero averaged two tackles, 3.1 interceptions and 2.2 clearances per game.
He also won an average of 3.6 aerial duels per match during those appearances.
The South American is also very comfortable with the ball at his feet.
He made 42.2 passes per game on average and recorded a very impressive completion rate of 86.2%.
Juventus allegedly want around £47 million for Romero according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport. So it remains to be seen whether £46 million will be enough to get the deal done.
The South American is a truly elite centre-back. And despite the uncertain times surrounding us, £46 million would actually represent good value for the Juve ace.
Goal have described the former Genoa star as an ‘elite centre-back’.
