Inter Faces Competition for Cristian Romero as Atletico Madrid Prepares Offer
Inter Milan is facing a familiar summer scenario, potentially missing out on a key transfer target due to delays. Tottenham Hotspur has reportedly accepted a €40 million offer for defender Cristian Romero, and Inter has been working on personal terms with the Argentine international. However, Atletico Madrid has emerged as a strong contender, ready to make their own bid for Romero.
The Spanish club's interest has been fueled by the sale of Nahuel Molina to Roma, which has provided them with the necessary funds. Reports suggest that Atletico Madrid is prepared to match the €40 million fee agreed upon between Tottenham and Inter. This development puts pressure on Inter to accelerate their negotiations and secure Romero's signature.
Adding to Atletico Madrid's potential transfer war chest, there are also talks of Matteo Ruggeri moving to Aston Villa, which could further increase their financial flexibility for the Romero deal. Several reputable sources, including Marca, Sky Sport Italia, Fabrizio Romano, and Sportitalia, have confirmed Atletico Madrid's focus on Cristian Romero and their capacity to meet the agreed-upon transfer fee.
With Atletico Madrid now poised to enter the race, the situation has become a race against time for Inter Milan to finalize personal terms with Cristian Romero before their competitors can make a decisive move.
