Barcelona has identified its primary defensive target for the summer transfer window. The Catalans are showing serious interest in signing Tottenham central defender Cristian Romero. According to Sport, sporting director Deco has moved on from Alessandro Bastoni to focus entirely on the Argentina international. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
Tottenham is demanding at least 60 million euros for their leader. However, the Barcelona board hopes to lower this price. The London club's standing in the Premier League and the risk of relegation could significantly impact the transfer fee. If Tottenham leaves the top flight, the defender's price is expected to drop sharply.
Currently, the relationship between Cristian Romero and Tottenham has cooled. The player is rehabilitating his knee injury not in England, but in Argentina, at the base of his former club Belgrano. This situation has caused dissatisfaction among London club fans and fueled rumors about his departure.
Barcelona's coaching staff believes Romero's aggressive playing style and leadership qualities are a perfect fit for Hansi Flick's system. Nevertheless, due to financial constraints, the club is also considering alternative options. The list includes Roma defender Evan Ndicka and cheaper options from the Saudi Pro League.
