Cristian Romero has been regularly linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur over the past two seasons. Getty - Cristian Romero wants to join Arsenal but Tottenham Hotspur have no intention of letting the centre-back join their bitter rivals, according to The Sun. The 28-year-old is set to leave Spurs this summer amid interest from Atlético Madrid and Inter Milan, but now The Sun reports that Arsenal are interested in signing him. The Premier League champions will be without William Saliba for an "extended period" with a back injury suffered during the World Cup. However, a move to the Gunners would be totally unpalatable for their North London neighbours. Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo reports that the Argentina international is waiting for Barcelona, especially with sources telling ESPN that Ronald Araújo is close to joining Liverpool from Barça on a season-long loan.
- Barcelona are set to send a second offer for Rodri, who has told Manchester City that he only wants to join the Blaugrana, Fabrizio Romano reports. Barcelona are working on a fee for the midfielder and have total confidence that they can complete a deal, seeing it as a matter of time until they do so. There had been a time when it looked as though the 30-year-old would be joining Real Madrid, but Los Blancos appear to have lost ground in the race to sign the Spain captain.
