"Real Madrid have reportedly made a 100m transfer bid for Tottenham central defender Cristian Romero, according to Fichajes. Los Blancos president Florentino Perez has apparently sought to intervene in the club's difficult season by coming in with a big offer for a top defensive player to turn the team's campaign around. Romero has shone for Tottenham, so could be a good option for Real as they continue to struggle to show their best form."
"Tottenham surely won't sell Cristian Romero to Real Madrid It's hard to imagine Spurs will want to let a key player like Romero leave the club in the middle of the season, even for such a big transfer fee.

"At the same time, however, it might be that Tottenham could do major work on rebuilding their squad if they were to bank as much as 100m from one player. THFC need a lot of work done in a number of areas, so that could be a good way to generally improve the team, even if would obviously be a big risk."
Real Madrid have made a 100m bid for Tottenham centre-back Cristian Romero as part of an effort to shore up a struggling defence. Club president Florentino Perez pursued a major signing to change the course of a difficult season after a 4-2 Champions League defeat by Benfica and caretaker manager Alvaro Arbeloa's limited positive impact following Xabi Alonso's exit. Romero has performed strongly for Tottenham, but Spurs are unlikely to sell a key defender mid-season despite the potential to reinvest 100m into squad rebuilding. Limited time in the transfer window reduces the likelihood of a deal.
