After it was revealed that Atletico Madrid have officially lost the race for Tottenham's Cristian Romero, with sources revealing that Tottenham have not received an official offer for the Argentine defender, it has never been revealed whether the news is true or not.
Today, 10 July, AS revealed that Tottenham Hotspur have put an end to an official approach from Atletico Madrid to sign the 27-year-old Argentine defender from the London club.
Atletico Madrid want to sign Brazilian defender Murillo, who has been in excellent form for Nottingham Forest recently, and it looks like he will be the official replacement for Cristian Romero at Atletico Madrid.
The 23-year-old's technical ability has caught the eye of Argentine coach Diego Simeone, who has placed him as his first choice to strengthen Atletico Madrid's defence.
Due to his performances in the Premier League, the club rewarded their coach Nuno Santo with a new contract that runs until 2029, but it seems that this contract renewal process will not hinder Atletico Madrid from finding a suitable way and solution to obtain the services of the Brazilian, who could be a great addition to the team starting next season, given that the player's market value is only 55 million euros.
