The corridors of power at Appiano Gentile have been unusually busy. GoalZaza can confirm that Internazionale have officially opened a channel of communication with Tottenham Hotspur over a potential summer move for their captain, Cristian Romero. The Inter sporting director has gone on record to admit the club's interest, and that alone sends a shiver down the spine of every Spurs supporter.Romero has been the beating heart of a Tottenham defence that has often looked brittle. He is a warrior, a man who plays on the edge of chaos and somehow drags order from it. His performances for Argentina, helping them reach a second consecutive World Cup final this month, simply confirmed what those in Serie A already knew: this is a defender with the tactical intelligence to play a high line and the grit to survive a backs. to. the. wall scrap. For a club like Inter, who build their identity on defensive solidity and transitional explosions, he is a perfect fit. Could you imagine Romero stepping into Simone Inzaghi's back three The thought is mouthwatering.The fee will be significant. Spurs, after a five year spell of eventful highs and heartbreaking lows with the Argentine, will not let him leave on the cheap. But with Inter's need for a leader at the back becoming more pressing by the week, and with Romero's head surely turned by the prospect of returning to Italy where he first made his name, this one has all the ingredients of a classic summer saga. The question now is whether Tottenham can afford to lose their captain, or whether Inter can afford not to sign him.
