Cristian Romero: Messi wanted to take me to Barcelona

Had Messi's wish come true, things could have been very different for Cristian Romero, who continues his career in the Premier League.

According to Tottenham's new signing Cristian Romero, Lionel Messi made an attempt to bring his compatriot to the Camp Nou before leaving Barcelona.

However, neither Romero's transfer to Barcelona nor Messi could stay in the nest. Messi, who is expected to extend his contract with Barcelona, ​​surprisingly signed with Paris Saint-Germain due to the economic difficulties experienced by the Catalan team.

Romero, who won the Copa America with Messi in the national team, was transferred from Atalanta to Tottenham with a transfer of 50 million euros.

Speaking to Radio AM 550, Romero talked about what happened at the beginning of the transfer window.

"It's great that Messi wants to see me in his team, that he wants me to come to Barcelona."

“PSG has built an incredible team. I was a little upset with the way Leo left Barcelona, ​​I thought he was going to stay there until the end."

“I wish him the best of everything. Messi is a great person. I hope he wins all the trophies in France along with the other Argentines."

Romero thanked Messi for his national team experience and the trophy they won.

"I am grateful to Messi for everything we shared with him and the other players in the national team."
