Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the North London club in recent months.
Barcelona are interested in signing disgruntled Tottenham defender Cristian Romero, and they will have to pay around £70-80 million. According to a report from TEAMtalk, the Argentine international is seeking a move away from the North London club due to the lack of ambition shown in the transfer market.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup winner wants to fight for major trophies, and Tottenham have not been able to provide him with that platform. The player recently sent out a controversial social media post aiming a dig at the club’s transfer business in January. It is quite evident that Romero is unhappy at Tottenham, and he wants to compete at a higher level.
Romero could fancy a move to Barcelona
The opportunity to play for Barcelona will be exciting for him. The Blaugrana are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they won the league title last season. They also made it to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League last season. They could provide him with the platform he is craving for.
Romero has won the World Cup and the Copa America with Argentina. He will look to win trophies of similar magnitude at the club level now. However, the £70-80 million asking price is quite high, and Barcelona is going through financial difficulties. It will be difficult for them to afford the 27-year-old defender, unless they sell some of their players. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
It seems likely that Spurs will lose their best defender in the summer. It remains to be seen where he ends up. Romero has been outstanding since moving to Tottenham, and he was instrumental in their UEFA Europa League campaign last season.
The Argentine international produced an exceptional display in the final against Manchester United, helping his team defend a slender lead and win the trophy. He could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for Barcelona and help them tighten up defensively.
