Overview
- Reports on Saturday say Romero’s agents were in Milan and the player has aligned on personal terms with Inter on about €5m per season.
- Tottenham is valuing Romero near €50m and Inter is preparing a structured offer around €35–40m plus a loan‑with‑conditional‑obligation to bridge the gap.
- Inter must secure an exception from its funder Oaktree to exceed normal single‑transfer guidelines and is modelling the move on last summer’s Akanji loan‑to‑buy formula.
- Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea are reported suitors, with Barcelona’s limited ability to register signings making Inter’s concrete offer and the player’s preference important factors.
- Sporting staff see Romero as a leadership signing who would allow Chivu to play a higher, more aggressive defensive line and a completed transfer could reshape Inter’s remaining budget and Serie A moves such as Juventus’s goalkeeper pursuit.
