Thomas Frank Approves Star’s La Liga Exit for Record Offer

Tottenham set to hijack Man Utd target after Thomas Frank appointment image

The head coach of Tottenham, Thomas Frank, may authorize a significant transfer soon as Atletico Madrid targets Cristian Romero.

The La Liga club has included Romero in their list of summer transfer goals, with Diego Simeone publicly expressing his desire to secure the Argentine player for his team.

Simeone aims to revamp his squad and sees the 27-year-old as a key defensive figure after missing out on Liverpool’s Andy Robertson.

Frank has held discussions with Romero regarding the speculation surrounding a move to Los Rojiblancos; despite wanting to retain him at Spurs, the former Atalanta defender is open to a transfer if a tempting proposal is made.

As per reports from the Spanish outlet Diario AS, Atletico Madrid is prepared to offer €55m [£47m] with an additional €15m [£13m] in performance-related bonuses, but Frank is holding out for the full €70m [£50m] upfront for any deal to be considered.

This impasse could be pivotal, as Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is ready to stand firm, especially since Romero’s contract lasts until 2027.

If Atletico Madrid agrees to Spurs’ terms or negotiates a compromise, Frank will receive a significant portion of the £50m for a record-breaking acquisition of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.

Since early summer, Tottenham has been monitoring England’s Eze, amid interest from local rivals Arsenal, with Crystal Palace bracing for a struggle to retain the 27-year-old.

Eze scored eight goals and provided eight assists in the Premier League last season, yet his standout moment was helping secure Crystal Palace’s first major trophy in the 1-0 FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.

There’s an increasing belief that Eze is prepared to advance and compete in the UEFA Champions League, but Oliver Glasner will seek the entirety of his £67.5m release clause from South London, which would establish a new transfer record for Tottenham.
