Tottenham Hotspur have put a price tag on Cristian Romero as Inter Milan and Barcelona show interest in the Spurs captain.
Spurs are hoping that Romero attracts plenty of interest this summer, with the Lilywhites seeing the World Cup as a perfect shop window for the centre-back to showcase his quality at the highest level.
That appears to be happening, with the Tottenham Hotspur captain hoping to take Argentina to their second consecutive World Cup final, with England standing in their way this afternoon.
Reports indicate that Romero’s performances at the World Cup have caught the attention of several big clubs, and De Zerbi’s men have now clarified their stance on their captain’s sale.
Cristian Romero could leave Tottenham for a discounted fee
It was reported by Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday that Spurs offered Romero to Inter Milan when the Nerazzurri made contact to enquire about Djed Spence’s availability.
The journalist explained that Tottenham’s asking price for the centre-back was considered high by Inter, and added that Barcelona are also keeping an eye on the player.
Sport Italia reporter Gianluigi Longari has now shed light on exactly how much the Lilywhites want for the 28-year-old. Longari took to X to claim that the Premier League side are ready to sell the centre-back for just €50m (£42.6m).
Why Spurs should be holding out for a bigger fee for Romero
Tottenham have sold Luka Vuskovic to Brighton for £50m, including add-ons, even though the 19-year-old has not played a single game for the Lilywhites.
Romero is a proven performer at the highest level, a leader for both club and country, and knows what it takes to deal with the pressure of big finals and to win silverware.
The Argentine is contracted for three more years for the North London club, which is why one would expect Spurs to hold out for a fee in the region of around £60m.
