Atletico Sees New Opportunity for Romero After Outburst

A Fresh Attempt for the Argentine International

Atletico made an effort to secure the services of the Argentine player last summer, but their advances were rejected by Spurs.

A Change in Circumstances

Recent developments suggest that Atletico may have a renewed chance to acquire the defender following his outrage directed at the club’s management this week, according to The Sun.

Contract Status and Recent Comments

The player had signed a new contract in August after Atletico’s initial bid, but his dissatisfaction with the team’s winter transfer activity has shifted the narrative. Following a recent draw against Manchester City, he expressed his frustrations on social media, praising his teammates despite the challenges faced.

Key Quote from Romero:
“I wanted to be available to help them even though I wasn’t feeling well, especially since we only had 11 players available – unbelievable but true and disgraceful.”

Criticism of Club Management

Romero’s criticism wasn’t limited to this instance. He had previously expressed his frustration after a defeat to Bournemouth, blaming “other people” in the club—interpreted as the management—for their silence and lack of transparency, suggesting that when they do speak, they tend to misrepresent the situation.
