Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has disclosed that he’s a big fan of Tottenham star Cristian Romero.
He made this known ahead of the team’s Champions League second leg round of 16 tie against Tottenham tonight.
Simeone was linked with a move for Romero last year, but the Argentine centre-back eventually signed a new contract keeping him at Tottenham until 2029.

Speaking in a press conference, Simeone praised Romero’s character and defensive work at Spurs.
“I speak from a point of view as an Argentina fan. I admire his personality, his character, his defensive work and his football ability on the ball.
“As a fan of Argentina, I have seen him play more games for the national team than I have for Spurs, but I’m a big fan of him, for sure.”
