Tottenham Offer Cristian Romero to Inter as Spence Deal Looms

Spurs Propose Romero as Part of Spence Talks

Tottenham have presented Cristian Romero to Inter Milan as an additional incentive while negotiating for Djed Spence. The North London club is seeking a solution to Romero’s future, with the Argentina defender eager to leave this summer. Inter has shown interest, and Romero is being offered as a possible swap component in the broader Spence discussion. The move reflects Spurs’ willingness to include experienced centre‑backs in potential player‑exchange deals.

Romero’s Growing Discontent Behind the Scenes

The club captain has repeatedly voiced his unhappiness, criticising the Spurs board in recent months. In February he complained that the January transfer window’s closure left an injury‑stricken squad short of bodies. “Great effort from all my teammates yesterday, they were all incredible,” he said after a draw with Manchester City, “I wanted to be available to help them even though I wasn’t feeling well, especially as we had only 11 players available – unbelievable but true and disgraceful.” Romero also accused the board of ‘lies’ in a now‑deleted social media post.

Romero Linked to Multiple Clubs

Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Spurs have asked about Inter’s interest in the 28‑year‑old, who remains a priority for the Italian champions. Manchester United and Barcelona have also been mentioned as admirers of Romero. The defender’s want‑out status means Spurs will listen to offers, aiming to secure a suitable fee before the World Cup hiatus.

Spence’s Potential Switch and De Zerbi’s Plans

Talks continue between Spurs and Inter over Spence, whose valuation sits around £40 million. The England full‑back is open to a move to Italy, and Roberto De Zerbi has signaled readiness to release him this summer. De Zerbi’s squad already includes Andy Robertson, signed as a free agent from Liverpool. Spence’s trajectory will be clarified once the World Cup concludes.

Future of Both Players Hinges on World Cup

Romero and Spence are set to have their futures decided after the World Cup break, with the two teammates facing Argentina in the semi‑finals tonight. The outcome of that match could influence both clubs’ transfer strategies. Spurs aim to clear squad slots, while Inter looks to bolster its defensive options. Meanwhile, speculation will continue in the press and on social media.
