The 23-year-old impressed at Atalanta as he helped Gian Piero Gasperini's side to a third-place finish in Serie A. Romero was named Serie A Defender of the Year at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
He was also an important part of the Argentina side which won the Copa America -- their first major trophy since 1993 -- starting in the 1-0 final win over Brazil.
