Atletico Madrid has completed the signing of Cristian Romero from Tottenham Hotspur. The Argentine international was recently signed in a deal worth a reported €40 million (£34m), and fans have been reacting.
Outlining his desire to win major trophies in Spain, Romero revealed that the move is an ideal fit for his long-term career ambitions.
The defender added that he looks forward to seeing lots of familiar faces at his new club.
His words, “I am very happy, very delighted to arrive here, at this huge club. I know I come with the same mentality as always, trying to write my name in the history of this beautiful club.
I know the only way is by winning trophies, so I come with that mentality and I will give everything until the last day to achieve it. It’s a club that, because of my style of play, fits me perfectly.
There are many national team-mates here, and I know it’s a wonderful club. When I played against them in the Champions League, the fans supporting them… a bit of everything made me make this decision to come here. I will give my absolute all, no doubt.
In the end football can go well or bad, but I know I’ll be 100 per cent committed to this crest, this shirt.”
