Romero gets closer, minimum distance remains on figures and salary

After the imminent arrival of Stones from Manchester City, Inter continues its search for defensive reinforcements and is negotiating decisively for Cristian Romero. Talks with Tottenham are at an advanced stage: the clubs are getting closer to an agreement around 40 million euros, with the Spurs asking for a further small financial effort to increase the initial offer.

On the contractual front, the gap is small. There is about a 500 thousand euro difference between Inter’s offer and the demands of the Argentine defender’s entourage. At Tottenham, Romero earns a salary of about 5.5 million pounds plus bonuses of half a million, for a total close to 6.4 million euros per year. The club is working to get closer to these figures and close the deal quickly.

There are no particular obstacles regarding agent commissions. The main competitor remains Arsenal, while Atletico Madrid is also monitoring the situation. The arrival of the center-back would be linked to the sale of Benjamin Pavard, who is set to make way for the new leader of the defense.
