Tottenham captain Cristian Romero is set to leave the club this summer.
The Argentine centre-back, who is in line to face England in Wednesday’s World Cup semi final, has made his intentions to depart the north London club clear.
It’s been reported that the 28-year-old has held talks with Serie A champions Inter in recent days.
However, talkSPORT understands Romero’s prference is a move to La Liga.
Barcelona are believed to be interested in bringing the Argentine to the Camp Nou.
Spurs are likely to command a significant fee for the defender who still has three years to run on his contract.
The Argentina international has had a mixed spell since arriving at Tottenham from Atalanta in 2021.
That has mirrored a turbulent time for Spurs on the pitch with Romero singled out at times by some Tottenham supporters.
He became embroiled in a storm in may when it was reported that he was to miss Tottenham’s crucial final game of the season in favour of a return to his homeland to watch formative club Belgrano.
With Spurs at risk of relegation and Romero getting wind of fan disgruntlement, he U-turned on the idea in favour of supporting his teammates in their quest for survival.
Last season Romero featured 32 times for the club, scoring four goals across all competitions.
However, injuries hampered sections of his campaign.
