Cristian Romero is no longer a priority target for Barcelona, but the Tottenham star’s long-term admirers are pushing to secure the centre-back.Romero is currently focused on helping Argentina defend their World Cup title, but the centre-back’s club future remains up in the air.Reports indicate that Spurs have decided to cash in on their captain, and the club’s transfer business so far certainly seems to back that up, with the Lilywhites adding two new centre-backs to their squad in Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke.Atletico Madrid continue to be linked with Romero while several outlets have claimed over recent weeks that Barcelona are also monitoring the Spurs star’s situation closely.Credit: Michael AC Braithwaite / @ac_sports_photoBarcelona make decision on Tottenham’s Cristian RomeroAccording to a report in Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness), the World Cup winner is ‘pushing hard’ to join Barcelona, but a move to Camp Nou is not likely this summer.While both manager Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco ‘appreciate’ Romero, signing a centre-back is no longer considered a priority for Barca this summer.With the club already having five centre-backs in Pau Cubarsi, Eric García, Ronald Araújo, Andreas Christensen and Gerard Martin, their focus is now on strengthening their attack ahead of the new season.Flick has decided he has ‘total confidence’ in Martin and is thus not keen on adding another centre-back to his squad this summer.Atletico Madrid pushing hard to land RomeroSport say that if Barca were to change their mind and pursue a central defender this summer, Romero would be at the top of their wishlist, provided they have sufficient funds for the deal.However, they have put their interest in the 28-year-old on hold, and this has opened the door for Atletico Madrid to potentially complete a deal.The report claims that Diego Simeone’s side are now ‘pushing hard’ to sign Romero, who is valued by Spurs at around €60m (£51.4m).READ MORE: Crycensio Summerville vs Savinho stats: Which winger is the best fit for Tottenham?The post Barcelona put Cristian Romero on backburner as rivals push hard for £51m Tottenham captain appeared first on Spurs Web.
