Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the busiest clubs in the summer transfer window so far, and they are now pushing to close another deal, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Spurs have brought in six players already in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali, while they have also sold a host of young talent in Luka Vuskovic, Tynan Thompson, and Will Lankshear to help balance the books and squad.
But the club are now looking at a move that would see a key first-team star depart north London during the window, with a deal very much on the cards.
Romano: Spurs In Talks to Sell Romero
It has previously been reported that Cristian Romero will 100% leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer, with talks planned between the club, player, and his representatives about the next steps surrounding his future.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has revealed in his latest Italian YouTube video that the Argentina international is in talks about a move to return to Serie A to sign for Inter Milan, with Spurs also involved in discussions about a deal.
"Understand Inter had initial direct contact with Cristian Romero's camp," he wrote on X.
"Talks taking place on both club and player sides, expensive and not easy, but Inter are trying with negotiations ongoing."
Romero, who has been described as 'phenomenal', was a key player for Argentina during the World Cup as they reached a second consecutive final, but he was forced off injured in the 70th minute as they fell to an extra-time defeat to Spain.
That came after he missed the run-in at the end of the Premier League season with a knee injury, and it now seems that he has played his final game for Spurs.
Tottenham Well Prepped for Life After Romero
Tottenham have obviously been aware for a while that Romero will be leaving this summer, hence their decision to bring in Van Hecke and Senesi in the transfer window.
With those two alongside Kevin Danso and Micky Van de Ven, the club are well stocked in central defence for the upcoming campaign, especially since they won't have European football to contend with too.
Romero's future clearly lies away from north London, and a return to Italy could be something that makes a lot of sense for him. But Spurs won't sell on the cheap, and it's clear that there is still some way to go in negotiations before a deal can be considered done.
