Tottenham Hotspur‘s Cristian Romero wants to leave the Premier League side and Inter Milan are ready to welcome him.
The Serie A winners have shown interest in his teammate, Djed Spence. During the talks with Tottenham for the fullback, the two clubs discussed the centre-back.
On Tuesday, Sport Witness covered claims from Italy that Tottenham had offered him to the Nerazzurri.
The north London club have given up on retaining him, who has given a positive response to Inter Milan.
Inter keen on Tottenham star
Sportitalia picks up on that and points out that the Argentina international has decided to leave Spurs this summer.
The Italian champions are in ongoing contact with his agent, after receiving his approval. The problem lies with Tottenham Hotspur’s demands, without a mention of a figure.
Journalist Orazio Accomando took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to report that Cristian Romero is the favourite target for Inter Milan. There will be new contact to secure his services.
Sport Mediaset shares more on the San Siro club’s efforts to sign the 28-year-old. Roberto De Zerbi highly values the defender, but his future is likely to be away from Spurs.
Tottenham and player want summer transfer
Inter Milan want to sign Cristian Romero, after losing Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij, and are in contact with his representative.
The South American has decided to leave because of the growing tension with the English club. Despite Roberto De Zerbi’s stance, Spurs are also willing to sell him because of off-field issues.
Tottenham Hotspur initially set a €60m price and Sport Mediaset believe his fitness issues may force them to lower it to €45-50m.
To overcome the financial hurdle, Inter want to sign him on loan with an obligation to buy. This allows them to secure a quality defender and delay paying the fee next year.
Sport Mediaset claims this is a Moratta-style deal, and this formula is ‘gaining traction’.
