Inter has taken its time on Cristian Romero. After securing John Stones on a free transfer, the Nerazzurri have adopted a wait-and-see approach, also monitoring the situation regarding Pavard. What has complicated the deal for the Argentine defender are mainly the player’s financial demands.
According to Sportitalia, Romero has asked the Nerazzurri club for a salary of 7 million euros net per season, a figure that has stalled the negotiations. With Tottenham, however, an agreement for the transfer fee was already close.
The arrival of Stones has strengthened Inter‘s position, which can now manage the market with greater peace of mind. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, also interested in the defender, must first sell players in defense before making a move. This is a situation that certainly does not help Romero‘s position.
