Most recently, Cristian Romero moved from Atalanta to Spurs. If Lionel Messi were still at Barca, things could have turned out differently, according to the defender.
Center-back Cristian Romero from English first division club Tottenham Hotspur has revealed that Lionel Messi wanted him to join FC Barcelona. However, Messi left Blaugrana for PSG on a free transfer after negotiations on a new contract failed due to the club’s financial problems.
Romero won the Copa America with Messi in July and then moved from Atalanta to Spurs on loan with an option to buy. As the Argentine now revealed, it could have turned out differently. “The fact that Messi wanted me on his team and that he wanted me to come to Barcelona is unbelievable,” Romero said in an interview with Radio AM 550.
Cristian Romero on PSG move: “A little sad that Leo Barcelona”
“The team that PSG built is crazy. I’m a little sad that Leo left Barcelona, I thought he would stay there forever,” said the 23-year-old: “I wish him all the best, he’s a great person and hopefully he and the other Argentines can win everything there. “
Through his time at Albiceleste, he also had a special connection to Messi, as Romero revealed: “I’m grateful to Messi for everything I’ve experienced with him and the rest of the national team. From day one, the group made me feel like that I’ve been with it for years. It’s just the kind of community that reigns there. “
Romero only made his debut for the Argentine national team in June and was quickly able to assert himself there. Although he missed four games at the Copa America due to injuries, he was on the pitch from the start in the 1-0 win in the final against Brazil.
