Spain's transfer market delivers blows to Inter's defence plans

Bad news from Spain hits Inter as Atletico Madrid moves to block the club’s pursuit of Argentine centre‑back Cuti Romero, while Tottenham under De Zerbi demands €40‑45 million for the player, leaving Inter forced to consider off‑loading Pavard in the upcoming transfer window.

Atletico Madrid, a major rival of Inter for the Argentine defender, is poised to close three transfers, the first being Thiago Almada from River Plate for a fee of €20 million.

The Spanish side also plans to send Molina to Roma, a move that awaits official confirmation.

In addition, Ruggeri is on the brink of a deal with Aston Villa, which is pressing for the Italian full‑back.

Tottenham, coached by De Zerbi, insists on a €40‑45 million price tag for the 28‑year‑old Romero, a figure that exceeds the amount Atletico intends to offer for the same player.
