Romero sent shockwaves through Spurs when during the winter window.

And Real Madrid have set their sights on taking advantage of the situation by landing the World Cup winner.

Mundo Deportivo report that Bernabeu chiefs are lining up a move for Romero at the end of the season.

Real Madrid were put on red alert after the Argentine’s decision to blast key decision-makers at Tottenham.

There is confidence that Romero would be desperate to seal a move to the Spanish capital.

Following , the former Atalanta man appeared to aim a dig at the hierarchy.

The Tottenham skipper wrote on Instagram: “Great effort from all my team-mates yesterday, they were incredible.

“I wanted to be available to help them even though I wasn’t feeling well, especially since we only had 11 players available – unbelievable but true and disgraceful.

“We’ll keep showing up and taking responsibility to turn this around, working hard and staying together.

“All that’s left is to thank all of you for being there and for always supporting us, the fans.”
