Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Arsenal spoke to the agents of Cuti Romero. Arsenal asked for information on Cuti Romero.
“The relationship, Arsenal-Tottenham, is obviously a complicated relationship. Way easier for Tottenham to give the green light to Atletico Madrid.
“My understanding is that the clear favourites to sign Cuti Romero now are Atletico Madrid.
“The player is negotiating with them. Atletico Madrid are negotiating with Tottenham.
“Inter had an agreement with Tottenham for some time, but Inter, if they do not sell Benjamin Pavard, they can’t proceed, and also they still don’t have an agreement on the contract.
“Arsenal asked for information, but Tottenham don’t want to sell to Arsenal. So, the only way would be an historical green light from Tottenham to Arsenal. Let’s see what’s going to happen on that one, but I expect Arsenal to go for a centre-back.”
