The negotiations to bring Cristian Romero to Inter are becoming complicated. According to Corriere dello Sport, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid have set their sights on the Argentine defender who is set to leave Tottenham. The Nerazzurri are working with the Spurs to bring the former Genoa and Atalanta player back to Milan, but the competition is getting fierce.
The arrival of Stones has already strengthened Inter’s defensive department, but Romero would represent a further step up in quality for the Nerazzurri backline. The sports daily points out that August has just begun and the management does not intend to rush, considering that the approach of the transfer window’s closure could unlock situations that are currently at a standstill.
Last year, right at the final gong, Inter managed to close the deal for Akanji, who has perfectly integrated into the Nerazzurri’s system. Time can also play in favor of other operations, such as the one linked to Jones of Liverpool, whose contract is expiring. However, the time factor could work the other way around in the case of Romero: it is not ruled out that Arsenal or Atletico Madrid could speed up and make a decisive move, snatching the defender from the Nerazzurri.
