The arrival of John Stones on a free transfer from Manchester City does not rule out another reinforcement in defense. The negotiations between Inter and Tottenham for Cristian Romero remain open, with only a small gap between supply and demand.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the parties could reach an agreement at around 40 million euros, despite the Spurs requesting a slight increase to Inter’s latest offer. On the salary front, the gap is even smaller: just 500 thousand euros. The Argentine center-back currently earns 5.5 million pounds plus 0.5 in bonuses in London, about 6.4 million euros at the current exchange rate. Inter’s offer is slightly lower than this amount.
With the player’s entourage, agreement on commissions would not be an obstacle. The main competition comes from Arsenal, while Atletico Madrid is also monitoring the defender. The possible arrival of Romero would require the sale of Pavard.
