Romero, total stalemate with Inter: Atletico Madrid tries to step in

The negotiations between Inter and Tottenham for Cristian Romero remain at a standstill. Although an agreement between the two clubs has been reached, the transfer of the Argentine defender to Milan is not moving forward due to the player’s financial demands.

Romero has significant financial demands, with a salary that would exceed that of Pavard by one or two million, whose 5 million salary already weighs on the wage bill and makes it difficult to add another defender with higher financial expectations.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, this deadlock is opening a door for Atletico Madrid. The Colchoneros have started contacts with Tottenham and are preparing to speak directly with the defender to try to snatch the Argentine from Inter. On the Nerazzurri front, therefore, there are no substantial updates and the operation appears increasingly complicated without a sale to free up space in the budget.
