Romano: Romero wants Inter, no agreement with Barcelona

Fabrizio Romano spoke on his YouTube channel to clarify the negotiations between Inter and Tottenham for Cristian Romero, denying some rumors that have circulated in recent days. The transfer expert wanted to clarify some important details of the operation.

“Regarding Romero, we want to clarify one thing: because there is a lot of talk about Cuti Romero, about the situation linked to Inter. Someone said Romero is not going to Inter because he is waiting for Barcelona. Romero is not waiting for anyone at the moment, I guarantee it, I would stake my hand on it,” declared Romano.

The expert then added: “Nor does Barcelona have an agreement with Romero. I said it in recent days, I repeat, Romero is not the Cancelo of January who said I’ll go to Barcelona, I’ll come to Inter only if things don’t work out with Barça. This is not the case. There is no agreement, no pact between Romero and Barcelona.”

According to Romano, the Catalan club is not yet sure if they want to focus on the Argentine defender. “First of all because Barcelona is absolutely not certain as of today, maybe they will take him, of signing Cuti Romero. And secondly, from the player’s point of view, there has been an openness to Inter. That is, Romero is intrigued, interested by the Inter project, which is why negotiations have gone on for days, for weeks.”

The expert then denied the rumors about the player’s financial demands: “Romero has not asked for 7 million. As far as I know, Romero has not asked for this amount, I don’t know where it came from, but Romero is asking for a salary in line with what he basically had at Tottenham. So this is Romero’s request.”

Romano also commented on De Zerbi’s statements about other players: “On Spence, as always, De Zerbi was very honest. When he talks about Spence he says, I tried to explain our project to him, then if he wants to leave he has to leave. I don’t want anyone unhappy. So he said, Vicario, everyone knows, wants to leave. Romero, wants to leave. Spence, if he wants to leave, the doors are open. On Romero he said, I didn’t try to convince him because I already know what his will is, and it’s a very clear will even from before the World Cup.”
