It is very possible that Real Madrid might not make another signing this summer after adding Kylian Mbappe and Endrick to their ranks. One thing that the club have been in recent years is measured when it comes to their transfer policy. To the outside eye, it has not made sense at times, but nobody can argue with their continuous success on the pitch. They are the current La Liga and Champions League holders.
Centre-back is one area where Real Madrid need to strengthen as soon as possible. Nacho Fernandez left the club this summer while it is unclear when David Alaba will be back from is long-term injury. The hope is that the Austrian legend will be back to full fitness before the end of the year.
Ideally, one would like Real Madrid to sign another centre-back this summer. But two of the players they were linked with, Leny Yoro and Riccardo Calafiori, have moved elsewhere.
As a result, Real Madrid might be willing to wait for the right opportunity to open up. And it looks like Cristian Romero is in their sights as a potential transfer target, not for this summer but the next one.
Real Madrid planning offer for £150m Tottenham Hotspur player
As reported by GIVEMESPORT, Real Madrid are planning to make an attempt to sign Romero next year. Los Blancos are on course to test Tottenham Hotspur's resolve with a formal proposal at the end of the 24/25 campaign.
It is believed that Tottenham Hotspur wanted a £150 million transfer fee to part ways with Romero this summer. That figure will have to be negotiated down significantly if any move to Real Madrid is to materialise in the future.
Real Madrid have signed top players from Tottenham Hotspur in the past - Luka Modric and Gareth Bale. Let's see if the name of Romero is added to that list soon.
