Tottenham face two major hurdles in battle for £46m Cristian Romero replacement

Reports suggest that Tottenham Hotspur have eyes on one Bayer Leverkusen centre-back amidst uncertainty around Cristian Romero; however, a transfer is very unlikely due to two major hurdles.

Tottenham are reportedly preparing for Romero’s potential exit, with Atletico Madrid said to be leading the chase for the World Cup winner.

The Spanish giants have placed him at the top of their summer wishlist, and given their status as a Champions League club, the lure could be strong.
