Inter Milan Nears €40‑million Deal for Tottenham Defender Cristian Romero

Italian champions Inter Milan have reached a basis of agreement with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee close to €40 million to sign centre‑back Cristian Romero. Negotiations on personal terms and wages are ongoing, and Barcelona is also reportedly interested but must first generate funds through player sales.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all been linked as potential suitors for Romero, with United’s staff and pundits urging the club to pursue the Argentine defender, who is expected to leave Tottenham when his contract expires in 2029. Inter’s sporting director Piero Ausilio confirmed the club’s pursuit, while other Premier League teams are monitoring the situation closely.
