Inter Milan continue to work actively on the trail of Cristian Romero. The Tottenham centre-back is among the Nerazzurri's top priorities to reinforce their backline, and discussions are ongoing between the various parties. The Milanese club appreciate his experience, his leadership and his knowledge of Serie A, where he had already shone in the colours of Atalanta.
Pavard, the unavoidable prerequisite
Before being able to finalise this operation, Inter must however resolve another major file: that of Benjamin Pavard. The French international holds an important place in the squad and also represents a considerable wage. A departure would free up appreciable financial room as well as a spot in the defensive rotation, thereby facilitating the possible arrival of Romero.
The two files are therefore closely linked. The sporting directorate is proceeding with caution, aware that a recruitment of this magnitude first requires a clarification of Pavard's situation, without which the squad balance and the club's financial strategy could be compromised.
The coming days will be decisive
The calendar is accelerating as the start of the season approaches. Should Pavard leave Milan, the Nerazzurri would have far greater latitude to step up their pursuit of Romero and provide their defence with a top-level reinforcement. The coming days therefore look set to be determining in this transfer saga.
