The intention is to close quickly. Marotta and Ausilio are working to bring Cristian Romero to the Nerazzurri base as soon as possible, possibly by next week. The Argentine represents the main summer target for the defense, a concrete opportunity that has emerged in recent weeks and on which the management is pushing with determination.
Talks are proceeding on two parallel tracks: on one side with Tottenham, on the other with the defender’s entourage. Work will continue over the weekend as well, with the aim of taking advantage of the mutual willingness of all parties involved. The English club, Inter, and the player all view the success of the deal favorably.
The formula being considered is a permanent transfer, with figures lower than those previously circulated. The operation would have the green light from the ownership, willing to make an exception to the usual parameters: although not representing a future investment in terms of age, transfer fee, and salary, Romero would guarantee an immediate increase in defensive quality.
Chivu has already given his approval. The coach, who also saw the Argentine in action at the World Cup, believes that the defender’s characteristics fit perfectly with his footballing philosophy. The arrival of the defender would also allow for a balance between youth and experience, safeguarding the overall competitiveness of the squad.
