Amid transfer market rumors and the anticipation of the Club World Cup, Cristian "Cuti" Romero has once again become a talking point. The Argentine defender, a key player for Tottenham, has hinted at a possible change of scenery, expressing his desire to play in LaLiga—a statement that hasn’t gone unnoticed in Spain.

Currently, Atlético de Madrid is reportedly interested in signing him to bolster their defense, though the operation won’t be easy. The English club, fresh off winning the Europa League and securing a spot in next season’s Champions League, is reluctant to part with one of their defensive cornerstones. Still, the player himself has suggested that his time in England may be coming to an end.

Real Madrid rubs its hands: Cuti Romero wants to play in LaLiga

In a conversation with the Edul brothers, Cuti Romero openly shared his interest in Spanish football: “I’d love to play in LaLiga, it’s the one I’m missing,” he admitted. His comments have sparked excitement among clubs like Real Madrid, which—despite not having made any official move—always keeps an eye on world-class players becoming available.

Romero also made it clear that he remains committed to Tottenham for now: “I’m happy and they make me feel important, but if the future brings something else, it will be welcome,” he said.

Meanwhile, while the Argentine’s name makes the rounds in transfer talk, Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid’s newest star, is gearing up for the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States. The French striker, top scorer in LaLiga and winner of the Golden Boot, is eager for this new challenge: “It’s a new opportunity to become world champions with the club. We’re really excited,” he said.

The former PSG forward also spoke positively about his adaptation to life in Madrid, both on and off the pitch, praising the support he has received. “I’m very happy in the club, the city, and the country. You can see it on the pitch,” he added.

In short, while Real Madrid dreams of more trophies with Mbappé, it also keeps a close eye on the transfer market, where a World Cup winner like Cuti Romero could soon take center stage.
