Barcelona sporting director Deco is reportedly eyeing Tottenham star Cristian Romero as a potential alternative to Alessandro Bastoni this summer.
Bastoni has emerged as the club’s top defensive transfer target but his €70 million price tag means he may be out of the Catalans’ reach this summer.
Deco is therefore looking at other options and was in London recently to talk about various Tottenham players, with Spurs fighting a desperate battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
According to
Diario Sport, Barca have been in touch with Romero’s camp to discuss the possibility of a summer move to Camp Nou.
Romero is seen as an experienced, aggressive, quick defender with strong leadership skills. He is a right footer but is described as a “born leader” and a player with the personality to play for Barca.
The Argentina international is set to leave Tottenham if they do go down and won’t be able to help them in their fight against relegation after being ruled out of their final matches due to a knee injury.
