The transfer of Cristiano Romero from Atalanta to Tottenham has become official. The Tottenham team officially announced this transfer on social media and their website. One of the most reliable journalists covering the North London team, Alasdair Gold, claims that the transfer fee is 42.5 million pounds sterling. Cristiano Romero is a center-back who was voted the best defender in the Serie A last year, playing for Atalanta, helping them to qualify for the Champions League again. This defender also won the Copa America with Argentina, where he played a crucial role.
There were even rumors that Lionel Messi strongly wanted and asked the Barcelona team to acquire Cristiano Romero, while Messi was still unaware that he would not be able to sign a new contract with the club. Atalanta replaced C. Romero with Juventus center-back Merih Demiral.
