Romero helped Argentina reach a second straight World Cup final earlier this month, but could leave Spurs this summer for a significant fee after an eventful five-year spell.
Centre-back Romero 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.
With Jan Paul van Hecke signed for £52m from Brighton and Marcos Senesi also joining as a free agent in June to boost the defensive options of Roberto De Zerbi’s side, Spurs will let Romero depart and his representatives have been in Milan for talks with Inter this weekend.
Inter’s sporting director, Piero Ausilo, said of Romero to Sky Italy: “It’s definitely a deal we are trying to sign with the player and the club [Tottenham]. These things take some time but there’s definitely interest. Let’s see.”
