According to a report by Matteo Moretto, expert in transfer markets, 'Atlético Madrid has reached a total agreement with Cuti Romero and are waiting to finalize the transfer details with Tottenham'.

The coach Diego Simeone sees Romero as the perfect addition to his defensive ranks with a view to the La Liga campaign. The signing of Romero adds to the search for strengthening the team's defense.
