Lionel Messi enjoys the Argentine National Team like never before. The victories in the Copa América, Finalissima and the World Cup in Qatar, added to the communion that Rosario generated with the new breed of footballers from the Albiceleste make Leo look great every time a FIFA date is present. in the calendar.

In this context, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) would be attracted to the idea of being able to share a team with one of the world champions also in Barcelona, as long as his return is finalized. La Pulga was left with the thorn of having been able to play alongside his friend Sergio Agüero in Catalonia and now he wants to take some kind of revenge in that regard.

Although one of the big rumors of an Argentine in Barcelona facing the next transfer market is that of Juan Foyth, now another defending champion in Qatar appears on Barça's radar. This is Cuti Romero, a Tottenham defender who would not disapprove of leaving England after Spurs' last defeat: they lost 3-1 at home against Brentford and it is very difficult for them to play any international competition next season.

How much does the Cuti Romero cost?

Despite the fact that there is interest, the operation seems quite complicated taking into account the economic situation of Barcelona. According to the Transfermarkt portal, the 25-year-old defender from Córdoba is valued at 60 million euros. However, Barça could lower costs by offering players as a bargaining chip.
