Cristian Romero’s time at Tottenham could be entering its final chapter, after his agent flew into Italy amid growing signs that Inter Milan are closing in on a deal for the Argentine defender.
Uncertainty Still Hangs Over Spurs Squad
Tottenham’s summer rebuild continues at pace, yet Romero’s future remains one of the club’s biggest unresolved questions. The captain has been dogged by exit talk all window, with Guglielmo Vicario and Djed Spence also fielding interest from elsewhere in Europe.
Roberto De Zerbi has already added defensive reinforcements in Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka as he builds towards his first full campaign in charge — but none of that has quietened the noise around Romero.
Inter Ramp Up Pursuit
Word emerged earlier in the week that Inter were preparing to sit down with Romero’s representatives as part of their search for defensive reinforcements. The Serie A champions are widely seen as the frontrunners, with Barcelona also said to be watching from a distance.
Doubts have circulated among Spurs fans over whether Inter can truly stretch to a deal this expensive, but the latest movement suggests the club are serious about getting it done. Italian reporter Luca Cilli says Romero’s agent has now touched down in Milan, coinciding with sporting director Piero Ausilio’s return to the city — raising expectations of a crucial face-to-face meeting soon.
Sources indicate Inter are working actively behind the scenes to push things forward, with Romero’s agent playing a key role in shaping how the negotiations unfold.
World Cup Break Adds to Exit Buzz
Romero’s decision to sit out Tottenham’s pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand has only fuelled talk of a move away. He was handed extra downtime after Argentina’s World Cup final appearance, time that has doubled as an opportunity to press ahead with talks over his next destination.
Romano: Inter “Determined” Despite Complications
Fabrizio Romano has since backed up the reports, revealing Inter have opened a direct line of communication with Romero’s camp. He describes ongoing talks involving the player’s representatives and both clubs, calling the transfer costly and complicated — but insists Inter’s resolve to land the Spurs captain hasn’t wavered.
With his agent now on the ground in Italy and talks moving on multiple fronts, the coming days may well decide whether Romero’s Tottenham career is coming to an end — and a new one at San Siro is about to begin.
