Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly facing a significant financial obstacle in offloading defender Cristian Romero to Italian giants, with his £50 million asking price proving too steep for interested Serie A clubs.
While the club has seen a resurgence under new management, leading to substantial summer signings and retaining key players, not everyone is part of the long-term vision. Romero, the team captain, has been heavily linked with a move back to Serie A, with Inter Milan emerging as the frontrunners, according to reports.
Inter Milan, alongside Spanish clubs Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, have reportedly monitored the Argentine international. However, the primary stumbling block appears to be Tottenham's valuation of the 28-year-old defender.
Sources suggest that Tottenham's £50 million demand is significantly higher than what Inter Milan is willing to pay for a player of Romero's age. While there's a possibility of finding a compromise, the current price gap is described as "enormous," casting doubt on the feasibility of the transfer at this valuation.
