Inter accelerates for Cristian Romero and is getting closer to finalizing the deal. The Tottenham defender is the top target to strengthen the defensive department, and the Nerazzurri have already defined the financial terms of the operation with the English club.

According to Gianluigi Longari, a journalist from Sportitalia, an agreement with Tottenham has been reached on the basis of 40 million euros. On the contractual front, the situation also appears to be at an advanced stage: the Nerazzurri club is very close to reaching an agreement on personal terms with the Argentine player.

The sticking point concerns the squad. To complete the purchase of Romero, Inter must free up space through a sale. The names on the table are Benjamin Pavard and Davide Frattesi, both set to leave to allow the arrival of the South American defender.

In the background remains Barcelona, indicated as a concrete alternative for Romero. However, the Blaugrana have not yet made a move, waiting to decide which department to strengthen as a priority. According to Longari, these are decisive days: Inter has the advantage, but must act quickly.

The negotiation for Curtis Jones from Liverpool remains parallel. The Nerazzurri club continues to work on that front as well, with the aim of providing the coach with two reinforcements of international level.
