Romero asks for 7 million in salary, Inter awaits developments

The negotiation for Cristian Romero is not yet closed. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, president Marotta and sporting director Ausilio have reached an agreement with Tottenham on the transfer fee, but the issue of the salary requested by the Argentine defender still needs to be resolved.

The (now former) captain of the Spurs is asking for a salary of 7 million. This request creates sustainability problems, considering that in the same department there is also Benji Pavard with his 5 million per year. The current financial situation is not compatible with the club’s parameters.

For this reason, Inter is in a waiting phase. The Nerazzurri management is monitoring two fronts: on one hand, the possibility of selling the Frenchman, and on the other, the chance that the Argentine might reconsider his financial demands. Only at that point could the transfer be definitively unlocked.

Therefore, it is not a matter of the player’s appreciation for the project entrusted to Chivu, but exclusively about the numbers. The deal remains open, awaiting developments on both fronts that could make the defender’s arrival sustainable.
