Fichajes.net claim that Real Madrid have identified Tottenham centre-back Cristian Romero as a target for next summer.
Romero has received a lot of rave reviews for his performances this season, with the centre-back having been handed a leadership role under Ange Postecoglou.
It turns out that the Spurs star’s displays have attracted the attention of Los Blancos who are in need of reinforcements in central defence.

Could Real Madrid move for Cristian Romero?
Fichajes explain that with Nacho and David Alaba set to leave the Santiago Bernabeu soon, the La Liga giants are looking for a ‘high calibre option’ to strengthen their backline and have set their sights on Romero.
The report says that the 25-year-old is seen as an ‘elite’ player by Madrid, owing to his ‘defensive solidity and ability to anticipate’, with the club feeling that he ‘fits perfectly into the desired profile’.
The publication adds that even though Carlo Ancelotti’s men want Romero by the start of next season, they could begin talks with Spurs over a deal during the ‘coming weeks’.
However, the outlet acknowledges that it will be a ‘difficult operation’ for Madrid as Daniel Levy is expected to demand a huge fee for the defender.
Spurs Web Opinion
A couple of things do not add up in this report, including the suggestion that Real Madrid would start negotiations over the next few weeks for a player they want to sign next summer.
With Romero contracted to Spurs until 2027, I do not think Levy will entertain any offers for the centre-back for the time being.
