Marca: Atletico Madrid s top target Tottenham defender Romero wants to sign Lukeman but 60 million is too high

July 8th News "Maca" reported that Atletico Madrid's top signing target is Tottenham's Argentine central defender Romero to improve his defense.

Atle Madrid is actively building a new season lineup and will announce the signing of US international Johnny Cardoso, who will be the third new player after Rugery and Bernard. Cardoso has reached a five-year contract with the team to strengthen the midfield position led by Cork and Barrios.

In terms of signings, Atletico Madrid's primary goal is Tottenham's Argentine central defender Romero to improve his defense. Although Romero himself intends to join, Tottenham has always been tough in transfer negotiations, which means Atletico Madrid needs great patience and try to reduce the transfer fee.

In addition, since forward Correa has left the team, Atletico Madrid needs to find a replacement. They had previously considered Atlanta's Lukeman, but gave up because of his high €60 million.

At the same time, Atletico Madrid's transfer operation also depends on the player's departure. If Molina, Lino, Lemar, DePaul or Gallagher and others receive the right offer, they may all leave the team. At that time, the club will make corresponding signing adjustments based on lineup changes to maintain the team's competitiveness.
