Despite Romero fitting Hansi Flick’s style perfectly in terms of both technical and tactical requirements, the Catalans still view Bastoni as their number one target for the upcoming summer transfer window.

Romero may personally request to leave Tottenham if the “Spurs” are relegated to the Championship, a scenario that could play right into Barcelona’s hands.

This season, Romero has played 32 matches for Tottenham, scoring 6 goals and providing 4 assists. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €50 million.
