Inter enter talks with Tottenham over signing captain Cristian Romero

Spurs captain helped Argentina reach World Cup final

Prefer the Guardian on GoogleInter have entered talks with Tottenham over the potential signing of Cristian Romero. The Spurs captain helped Argentina reach a second straight World Cup final this month, but could leave this summer for a significant fee after an eventful five-year spell.

The centre-back has made 156 appearances since he joined Tottenham in 2021 and guided the club to Europa League success last year, but served four separate suspensions during a difficult 2025-26 campaign.

Inter’s sporting director, Piero Ausilio, told Sky Italy: “It’s definitely a deal we are trying to sign with the player and the club. These things take some time but there’s definitely interest. Let’s see.”
