"One of the big differences between the team this season and the previous one is the absence of an experienced leader in defence. The void left by Inigo Martinez's departure, after all, was never filled. The club, thus, are open to signing a relatively seasoned campaigner, and it now appears that Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero is emerging as an option."
"According to reports in England, as relayed by Mundo Deportivo, the Argentine defender has made his decision to leave Spurs at the end of the season primarily because of severe internal friction. Months ago, he was linked with a move to Spain - specifically, Atletico Madrid. Now, however, Barcelona are arriving as a serious option on the English media outlets."
Barcelona will seek a new centre-back and a centre-forward in the upcoming transfer window. The defense lacks an experienced leader after Inigo Martinez's departure and the club wants a seasoned campaigner. Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero has emerged as an option following reports that he will leave Spurs in June amid internal friction. Romero was previously linked with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. This season he has 19 starts and 20 Premier League appearances, with four goals and one assist, averaging over 14 defensive actions and four ball recoveries per game along with four clean sheets. His contract runs until 2029 and the transfer could be costly.
