Casablanca – Cristian Romero’s time in London appears to be coming to an end, with the central defender keen to begin a new chapter in his career.
Cristian Romero has just experienced an eventful summer in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. A pillar of the Argentinian defense, he helped lead Argentina to the final of the 2026 World Cup. His individual performances stood out despite Argentina’s 1-0 loss to Spain in the final, attracting interest from a number of top clubs while strengthening his own desire to take on new challenges even more.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Romero is very close to departure from Tottenham Hotspur. The player wants to join a more prestigious club, where he can compete for major titles such as the Champions League and the domestic league.
Inter Milan and Barcelona are currently leading the race for the 2022 World Cup winner. Each club has its own reasons for making Romero a priority target.
Barcelona have expressed strong interest in the Argentinian center-back. However, the main obstacle for the Catalan club remains financial. To attract Romero to Camp Nou, Barcelona would have to part ways with at least one defender from their current squad in order to free up wage funds.
In Italy, Inter Milan is facing a generational transition in defense. With the departures of key players like Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi, the Milanese club needs a new, experienced player to lead the defense. Romero knows Serie A well, given his spell with Atalanta before moving to England, which makes him a perfect choice for Inter Milan.
