FC Barcelona could soon announce the signing of the Argentine world champion

The FC Barcelona board gave the green light, all obstacles have been cleared for the signing of Cuti Romero – this is how Fichajes, specializing in transfer news, begins its leading article. However, the paper adds that an agreement has not yet been reached. The priority is clear for the Argentine world champion: he wants to move to Camp Nou. However, Barca's financial situation is prompting his agency to negotiate with other teams if the defending LaLiga champions ultimately cannot buy their client out of his contract.
Atlético Madrid and Inter are also "in the picture"
Atlético Madrid and Inter are also in official contact with Romero's entourage, but both clubs know that Barcelona is the priority for Romero, and they only have a chance to acquire the 28-year-old star if the Catalans cannot pay the €50 million that his club is asking for him.
Romero wants to go, even though he was a key player for Tottenham
The player absolutely wants to leave Tottenham. The Londoners already know this; Roberto De Zerbi himself spoke earlier about how he will not call the center-back and will not beg him to stay.
Romero joined Tottenham in 2021, bought from Atalanta. He made more than 150 appearances in the colors of the London club, and he was the captain when they won the Europa League in 2025.
