Get the latest odds movement for Cristian Romero's Club After Summer Transfer Window market with Atletico Madrid now odds-on at 1/3 to complete the move.
The price on Cristian Romero to be at Atletico Madrid after the summer transfer window has been slashed to just 1/3 with Bet Victor, following news that Tottenham Hotspur and the Spanish side have opened direct talks over the Argentina defender.
Atletico Madrid are the runaway favourites in the Club After Summer Transfer Window market at 1/3 with Bet Victor, a short price that reflects how far ahead of the field they now sit.
Tottenham and Atletico entered direct negotiations on 7 August 2026 over a move for Romero, who has made clear he wants to leave the club this summer.
Atletico head coach Diego Simeone made Romero a primary target to strengthen his defence, and the pair share Argentine roots.
Spurs rejected an approach from Arsenal for Romero, sticking to a strict policy of not selling to a domestic rival.
The reason the market has moved so sharply is simple: Romero wants out, and Atletico are the club that has moved to make it happen. The Argentina defender expressed his desire to leave Tottenham during the 2026 summer window to join Atletico and link up with fellow countryman Diego Simeone, and once club-to-club talks opened on 7 August, the bookmakers wasted no time installing the Spanish side as the overwhelming favourites. Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi has said he will respect the wishes of players who want fresh challenges, which only adds to the sense that this deal has momentum behind it.
Spurs have also protected themselves against Romero's departure. During the same window they signed defenders Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi to reinforce their central options, softening the blow of losing their captain. There was other interest — Inter Milan held discussions with Tottenham around a £35m valuation earlier in the window — but those negotiations stalled over contract terms, leaving Atletico with a clear run. That combination of a willing player, an active suitor and a club prepared to do business is exactly why the odds have shortened as dramatically as they have.

Who are the favourites in the Cristian Romero next club market?
Atletico Madrid lead the way at 1/3 with Bet Victor, and the reasoning is straightforward: they moved into pole position after holding club-to-club negotiations and reaching agreement on personal terms for a four-year contract.

Atletico Madrid (1/3, Bet Victor) – In pole position after agreeing personal terms on a four-year contract with Romero.
Inter Milan (5/2, Bet Victor) – Held active interest earlier in the window before Atletico took the lead in negotiations.
Barcelona (10/1, Skybet) – A distant outsider in the current betting picture.
Chelsea (16/1, William Hill) – The longest of the shortlisted names and firmly on the fringes of this market.

Where will Cristian Romero sign next?
Everything points towards Atletico Madrid, and their groundwork tells the story. They arranged outgoing transfers to create the room needed for Romero, sending defender Nahuel Molina to Roma and Matteo Ruggeri to Aston Villa to free up squad space and financial flexibility. With personal terms already agreed, the outstanding piece is the fee, and Tottenham and Atletico are continuing discussions to settle the final structure of the deal. Until that is signed off nothing is done, but the direction of travel — and the shape of this market — leaves little doubt about where the odds are pointing.
