Romero targeted by Inter after his World Cup performance

The Argentine defender, Tottenham captain, has seriously caught Inter Milan's attention after helping his country qualify for the 2026 World Cup final.

Inter Milan has opened negotiations with Tottenham to sign Cristian Romero, the Spurs captain and key defender for the Argentine national team that qualified for the 2026 World Cup final. The centre-back, who arrived in London in 2021, has made 156 appearances for the English club. His transfer fee is expected to be substantial, despite a 2025-26 season marked by several suspensions. Inter sees him as a major defensive reinforcement to tackle the world tournament and the Italian club's continental ambitions.
