The Cristian Romero operation is heating up. According to reports from ESPN Argentina, a verbal agreement has been reached between Inter and Tottenham for the transfer of the Argentine central defender. The agreed amount between the two clubs is 40 million euros.

Leo Paradizo, a journalist from the South American broadcaster, provided precise details about the deal: “The first thing we can confirm here is that Cuti Romero, which was quite predictable, will not continue at Tottenham. He will not stay at Tottenham. The second thing I can confirm, and this is first-hand information verified today, is that there is a verbal agreement between Tottenham… A verbal agreement between the clubs. I even have the figure that Inter will pay: the agreement between Inter and Tottenham is for 40 million euros.”

The central defender has already expressed his willingness to move to Milan, giving his approval to the deal. Romero is a concrete target for the Nerazzurri club, which continues to strengthen its defensive department despite the arrival of John Stones.

Paradizo added a significant detail about the player’s valuation: “I’ll also say something else: up until a year ago, Cuti Romero had a different valuation. He was valued at 60 million euros.” The cost of the deal is therefore lower compared to previous market estimates for the Argentine defender.
