Reports suggest Romero is thrilled by the prospect of playing for the Catalan giants. His agents also believe Barcelona could make a serious move to sign the defender as the summer transfer window draws to a close.

Inter have already made contact with the player's representatives and discussed a possible deal, but now the Argentine is in no hurry to give his final approval to the Milan club. Meanwhile, there's still no official offer from Barcelona.

It's worth noting that Cristian Romero's contract with Tottenham runs until the summer of 2029. Transfermarkt values the 28-year-old defender at €50 million.
