Transfer Proceedings Intensify for Romero
Inter have moved a step closer towards the acquisition of Cristian Romero. Sportingpedia sources indicate that both personal terms and agent commission discussions have advanced significantly between the Italian side and Romero’s representative. Tottenham Hotspur, Romero’s current club, are reportedly willing to sanction his departure for an estimated fee of €40m.

Romero Set for Another Serie A Spell
The Argentina international appears determined to leave London during this summer window, with suggestions that Tottenham are open to his exit, reflecting the player’s stance over recent months. With Barcelona only maintaining a monitoring position and not making an active bid, Inter have positioned themselves as front-runners to seal the defender’s signature.
If concluded, the move would mark a return to Italian football for Romero, who began his European tenure at Genoa before representing Juventus and Atalanta. Now aged 28, Romero previously joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2021 for a sum of €53.8m.
Finances and Recent Transfers
Despite being close to securing the Argentine centre-back, Inter must first address their financial balancing by selling at least one current player. The options available reportedly include Davide Frattesi and Benjamin Pavard.
In a separate development, Inter enhanced their defensive options by signing England international John Stones from Manchester City on a free transfer. Stones agreed to a two-year deal with the Nerazzurri yesterday.
