Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero is increasingly expected to leave the club this summer, with a new dream destination now firmly in his sights.
According to reports, the Argentina centre-back is eager to test himself in LaLiga, where Barcelona are among the clubs showing interest in his signature.
The 28-year-old is still under contract for another three years in north London, meaning Spurs would likely demand a substantial fee.
Romero’s spell at Tottenham has been turbulent, to say the least, and all signs now point towards that chapter finally drawing to a close.

Arsenal have been relatively quiet in the summer transfer window so far, but that may be about to change.
With Leandro Trossard completing his move to Turkish giants Besiktas, the Premier League champions are already searching for his replacement, according to reports.
It is claimed the Gunners are preparing a £34 million bid for RB Leipzig and Norway winger Antonio Nusa, who has caught the eye with his performances at the 2026 World Cup.
However, Leipzig are thought to value the 21-year-old closer to £52 million, leaving Mikel Arteta and his recruitment team with a significant decision to make.

Manchester United and their search for further midfield reinforcements has taken them back to Real Madrid – but not for Aurelien Tchouameni this time.
The Red Devils have already added Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa, yet still want one more midfield option before the season begins.
Fresh claims from Fabrizio Romano now link them with Eduardo Camavinga, who is viewed internally as a player with “fresh legs” and the ability to “run” relentlessly.
However, the Frenchman has no intention of leaving the Bernabeu, believing strongly in next season’s project under former United manager Jose Mourinho.
