Maybe hoping so as to add to what’s already a star-studded squad, Actual Madrid’s chief scout was reportedly in attendance on the North London derby to observe one explicit Tottenham Hotspur participant.
Tottenham switch rumours
The Actual Madrid name is one which Spurs are all too accustomed to. It is one which Luka Modric answered in 2012 and one which Gareth Bale answered only one 12 months later to deal the Lilywhites the last word double blow.
Each gamers at the moment are Los Blancos legends with their very own particular person moments to look again on within the historical past books, with Modric even nonetheless going as certainly one of Madrid’s most vital gamers. Now, the cellphone might be set to ring as soon as extra over 10 years since Bale swapped North London for the Bernabeu.
This time round, nonetheless, it could be Ange Postecoglou‘s squad who could really feel the affect of the European giants’ switch exercise, with the Australian into simply his second 12 months of what Daniel Levy will hope is a prolonged mission which finally culminates within the silverware that Spurs are craving. No mission is with out its hurdles although, and one exit would deal Postecoglou the last word blow.
In accordance with Defensa Central, Juni Calafat, Actual Madrid’s chief scout travelled to observe Cristian Romero within the North London derby because the La Liga champions ponder a transfer for both the Argentine or Arsenal centre-back William Saliba.
For as soon as, Spurs will hope that it is their rivals and Saliba who’ve the eye as Actual Madrid look to strengthen their backline. In the meantime, whether it is Romero, that they method, then they know they are going to discover it sophisticated to barter with Levy for the central defender who additionally earns a reported £165k-a-week.
When 2025 arrives, these on either side of the divide in North London look set to be in for a nervous wait with Actual Madrid’s chief scout properly conscious of each Romero and Saliba’s expertise.
“Excellent” Romero is essential to Tottenham
Even amid the likes of Heung-min Son and James Maddison, there is a robust argument that Romero is Spurs’ most vital participant beneath Postecoglou. Whether or not it is subsequent to Micky van de Ven or Radu Dragusin, the World Cup winner is seemingly one of many first names on the crew sheet throughout the Lilywhites’ backline and so they’ll hope that is still the case for years to come back.
Postecoglou is definitely properly conscious of his high quality too, urging others to observe Romero’s lead after a slim 3-2 loss towards Arsenal final season, saying through Soccer London: “Yeah, he was excellent. He is a World Cup winner and I’ve simply bought to get a few of what’s in him into a few of the others.”
Sadly, Spurs may but fall sufferer to Romero’s success if Actual Madrid come calling. Now 26 years previous, the Argentine seems to be within the prime of his profession and whether or not these in North London can facilitate the ambitions of such a participant stays to be seen, particularly in comparison with serial winners Madrid.
Having misplaced stars to the Bernabeu previously, Spurs will probably be determined to keep away from a repeat in relation to their spectacular central defender.
