Overview
- Romero’s agent Ciro Palermo and entourage were in Milan to meet Inter representatives, a development that multiple outlets reported on Friday and that followed the return of Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio to the city.
- Tottenham are publicly asking for €50 million for the defender, while Sportitalia sources say Inter believe they can drive the price down to about €35–40 million.
- The player is described as keen to return to Italy and reports say his relationship with Tottenham has cooled after a season-long breakdown in the club’s technical project and a dispute over treatment of a foot injury.
- Inter see Romero as a top recruit because the club has lost several senior centre-backs and wants to prioritise defensive reinforcements before the season starts.
- Negotiations are active but unresolved, with talks focused on transfer fee and Romero’s high reported wages that could complicate any move and determine whether the clubs can reach a deal.
