The path that leads Cristian Romero to Inter currently appears to be blocked. Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the situation through his YouTube channel, explaining that the issue is mainly linked to the sales the club needs to complete.
In recent weeks, the Argentine defender seemed very close to the Nerazzurri, but after the arrival of Stones, the management slowed down negotiations. The reason is clear: some departures are needed first in order to proceed with the purchase of the Tottenham center-back.
Regarding the alleged contact between Lautaro Martinez and his compatriot, Romano clarified: “There was talk of a call from Lautaro to Cuti Romero, a phone call to wait for Inter, but guys, this is not about waiting for Inter, it’s not about calling Romero. Here, it would be about calling the ownership of Inter, more than calling Romero. And obviously, it’s not up to Lautaro to do it, it’s not up to the players to do it.”
The transfer expert then added: “In the sense that at this moment, for the ownership of Inter, the Romero deal is not moving forward, it’s not happening, due to an issue related to departures. Until someone leaves, like Pavard, and not only him, today the Romero discussion cannot proceed.”
On the competition front, Atletico Madrid continues to push strongly and at the moment remains the favorite club to secure the defender. Barcelona and Arsenal are also following the situation, but relations between the Gunners and Tottenham remain complicated, making any potential deal between the two London clubs difficult.
