Marca: Atletico Madrid plans to sign Romero and Baenna, and the transfer fee is expected to be at least 100 million euros

May 14th According to the "Marca", the club is actively preparing to sign players to enhance the team's competitiveness in various competitions. They plan to sign Tottenham center back Romero and Villarreal striker Baena.

Although the team still had the chance to compete for multiple titles by March, it failed to do so at the critical stage of the season. To this end, the club plans to strengthen in various positions. Last August, high-priced players such as Alvarez, Sollot, Gallagher and Lenorman joined, injecting new vitality into Simeone's team.

Currently, sports director Carlos Bucero is starting to build a brand new Atletico Madrid. This is his first time in charge of the transfer window alone, after Italian Andrea Berta left the club and switched to Arsenal.

In Bucero's list of signings, Romero and Baenna are two highly anticipated targets, and these two people alone will spend at least 100 million euros. Among them, Romero is regarded as the first choice to strengthen the defense line. The Argentine international has performed well in both Tottenham and the national team and is expected to improve the overall level of Atletico Madrid central defender.

However, signing Romero is not easy, he is worth as much as 70 million euros, but Atletico Madrid hopes to lower that number. Romero himself expressed his desire to join La Liga and received support from his national teammates. However, Tottenham will not start negotiations until after the UEFA Cup final, and the transfer fee may not be less than €50 million.

As for Baena, the termination fee is 60 million euros. Atletico Madrid hopes to reduce transfer fees by joining two marginal players (Rickelme and Lino). Baena rejected the Saudi league invitation in January, and he was not very interested in the Premier League, so he was more likely to join Atletico Madrid.
