Tottenham defender Cristian Romero continues to attract interest from across Europe. However, Barcelona’s stance appears rather different to that of Inter Milan and Atlético Madrid.

The Argentina international has spent recent weeks at the centre of a transfer battle involving the Serie A and La Liga clubs. Both are pushing to convince Spurs to sanction a move before the end of the window.

According to journalist Gianluigi Longari, however, Romero’s representatives are also keeping Barcelona updated on everything happening behind the scenes.

Longari explains the defender’s entourage are informing the Catalan club of every development because they are hoping Barcelona will eventually decide to enter the race.

For now, though, Longari says Barcelona’s focus lies elsewhere. The journalist states the Spanish champions’ priority is currently Rodri.

Therefore, Romero is not at the top of their transfer plans despite the regular updates being passed on by his representatives.

That leaves Atlético Madrid and Inter Milan as the clubs doing the most concrete work on a deal. Both have been heavily linked with the Tottenham defender in recent days.

Door not completely closed

Barcelona have been credited with interest in Romero before. However, Longari’s latest information suggests there has been no decisive move from the Camp Nou.

For the moment, though, Longari’s information points to Barcelona watching events unfold while Romero’s entourage waits to see whether the club’s priorities change.
