A Tottenham Hotspur defender is keen on a move to FC Barcelona and is now actively pushing his representatives to make the switch.
The player is eager for a new challenge outside of England, with a move to Spain topping his wish list.
As he actively pushes for an exit, the powerhouse defender has identified a dream destination that would instantly reshuffle the deck in European football.
While Atletico Madrid are also keeping a close eye on the situation, the allure of wearing the iconic Blaugrana colors at the Spotify Camp Nou is incredibly appealing to the World Cup winner.
According to Diario Sport, Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Cristian Romero is eager to leave the English club this summer, with FC Barcelona standing out as one of his preferred destinations.
The Argentine international, currently representing his country on the international stage, is determined to force a move to La Liga.
The interest is mutual. The Tottenham Hotspur star is highly regarded by Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, as well as head coach Hansi Flick.
If the Catalan giants were in a position to recruit a world-class center-back, the aggressive, front-footed defender would easily top their shopping list. Unfortunately for the player, executing this dream move presents massive financial hurdles.
Currently, Barcelona have completely paused any plans to reinforce their backline.
The club’s recruitment strategy is strictly focused on securing a marquee striker—namely Romero’s international teammate, Julian Alvarez.
Furthermore, Flick is entirely comfortable with his existing defensive depth, which features the likes of Pau Cubarsi, Ronald Araujo, and Andreas Christensen.
Barring any massive, unexpected player sales to free up funds, the Tottenham defender faces a waiting game, even as he pushes hard to make a move to Catalonia a reality.
