Curtis Jones come Romero? L'Inter è al lavoro per evitarlo. La strategia
Inter is reportedly close to abandoning their pursuit of Tottenham defender Cristian Romero this summer. The failure to offload a defensive player, specifically Benjamin Pavard, has created the scenario the Milanese club feared: a formidable rival, in this case Atlético Madrid, swooping in to sign the 1998-born player. With the Colchoneros planning player sales, the Argentine's arrival is reportedly becoming increasingly likely.
The imperative is to prevent a repeat of the "Jones" situation.
With Romero seemingly out of reach and Benjamin Pavard set to remain at Inter, the club is now focused on preventing a similar outcome in the midfield. Their primary target is Liverpool's Curtis Jones, whose contract expires in 2027. Inter has been pursuing the midfielder since the winter transfer window. However, to make a decisive move for Jones, Inter needs to make at least one additional sale beyond Ebenezer Akinsanmiro to Monza. The players deemed surplus and available for transfer are Kristjan Asllani and Davide Frattesi, neither of whom are part of coach Cristian Chivu's plans for the upcoming season.
The club is waiting for a player sale to unlock the signing of Jones, a player highly desired by Chivu, thereby avoiding a "Romero 2.0" scenario.
