Barcelona interested in Cuti Romero

FC Barcelona

The situation is still far from being resolved. Romero, 28, is under contract with Tottenham Hotspur until June 2029, a key detail in any negotiation that could be opened during the transfer window.

The FC Barcelona remains attentive to the opportunities that may arise to strengthen the squad and the name of the Argentine defender has appeared in the last few hours linked to the Blaugrana club. He is not the only Spanish team associated with the player, however, as information coming from Italy also places Atlético de Madrid as a possible destination.

Tottenham, contract and the player's willingness

Journalists such as Gianluigi Longari and Fabrizio Romano say that the English club would be studying the exit of the defender. In any case, the operation would depend on several factors: that Tottenham is willing to part with one of its most valuable centre-backs and that the player maintains his intention to make the step to the Spanish league.

In London, the sporting and contractual situation adds nuances to the case. Tottenham will not be playing European competitions next season and the relationship between Romero and the Spurs' board would not be at its best. Even so, his importance in the squad and his market value make any move a sensitive decision for the English club.

Romero is a centre-back with experience at the very top level, defensive leadership and a competitive edge. That profile fits what both Barça and Atlético are looking for, while the Real Madrid has also been mentioned as a club that the Argentine defender likes.

The development of the situation will depend on Tottenham's final stance and on the moves that the interested Spanish clubs may make. The player is under contract with the English side until June 2029.
