Atletico Madrid are close to signing Argentine defender Cristian Romero from Tottenham Hotspur.
According to Idman.Biz, citing Fabrizio Romano, the player has given permission to join the Spanish club and talks between the clubs have reached the final stage.
A new offer will be made to Tottenham Hotspur soon, but selling the player to Arsenal, the arch-rivals of the Spurs, was never considered.
Earlier, it was reported that Barcelona were interested in signing Romero and planned to replace defender Ronald Araujo, who was loaned to Liverpool. According to the journalist, the Catalans are focused on signing Manchester City's defensive midfielder Rodri and have not made an offer to Romero.
