FC Barcelona has shifted its focus to the summer transfer window following their players' success in the World Cup. The club is considering signing Cristian Romero from Tottenham, but only if one of their current defenders leaves. Reports suggest that Barcelona is not prioritizing this move at the moment, as they already have several center-backs on their roster. Additionally, Ronald Araujo is the only likely candidate to exit, but the chances of this happening appear slim. The situation may change depending on developments with Barcelona's defensive lineup throughout the summer.
