Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing after Atlético’s opening bid was rejected. Tottenham are understood to be seeking a higher fee closer to €40 million, having turned down an initial proposal in the region of €30 million.
Club-to-club talks continue, with approaches also made on the player’s side. Romero is reported to favour a move to the Spanish capital and a reunion with compatriot Diego Simeone, who has long admired the centre-back.
The 28-year-old remains a priority target for Atlético as they look to strengthen their defence. Inter Milan are also monitoring the situation, but the La Liga side are determined to push forward with a revised proposal in the coming days.
Further developments are expected as both clubs work towards a potential agreement.
