The arrival of Cristian Romero at Inter is now just a step away. According to Corriere dello Sport, the transfer of the Argentine defender from Tottenham to the Nerazzurri club has been verbally agreed upon through a three-way understanding between all parties involved.
The deal is based on a total of 40 million euros (35 plus 5 in bonuses) destined for the English club, while Romero will earn 5.5 million per year. The agreement is the result of intense negotiations with the player’s entourage, necessary to iron out the details and beat the competition from Arsenal and Atletico Madrid. The last piece missing to make the transfer official concerns the departure of Benjamin Pavard.
The Frenchman has a high salary and has not been part of the Nerazzurri’s technical plans for some time. The defensive unit is also overcrowded: in addition to the latest arrival Stones and the various Bastoni, Akanji and Carlos Augusto – the latter used as a left-sided center-back by Chivu – the club from Viale Liberazione is strongly focusing on Bisseck, who is able to cover all defensive positions and has just renewed his contract.
The Argentine has agreed to lower his financial demands compared to the approximately 6 million euros he earned at Tottenham. His decision to move to Milan was also favored by the arrival of a quality defender like Stones, who has further strengthened the department available to Chivu and added international experience to the squad.
