Cristian “Cuti” Romero is expected to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer, with previous reports now firmly reinforced as the defender prepares for a new challenge.
Inter Milan remain at the forefront of the race and are continuing to work on a potential deal. Direct talks with Romero’s representatives are expected to take place soon as the Serie A giants step up their pursuit.
Softfootball reported in early July that Inter had already opened discussions with Tottenham over Romero during talks involving Djed Spence. Although the Italian club identified the World Cup-winning defender as a priority target, negotiations were expected to be challenging due to the substantial financial package required.
Barcelona continue to admire the Argentina international, but the Catalan club will only consider a move if they first sanction the departure of one or more centre-backs.
With Romero now widely expected to leave North London, the coming weeks are likely to be decisive as Inter look to turn their long-standing interest into a formal agreement.
