Inter Milan’s imminent move to sign John Stones could reportedly put another deal for Tottenham’s Cristian Romero into some doubt.
Romero has been a key player for Spurs, but it looks likely that he’ll be on his way out of the north London club this summer.

However, despite Inter being keen on the Argentina international, it seems less likely now due to them closing in on signing Stones, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Guardian have also reported on Stones being close to joining Inter, with the England international available on a free after coming to the end of his contract at Manchester City.
Meanwhile, a recent report from Corriere dello Sport linking Romero with Inter also surprisingly linked him with Arsenal.
Could Cristian Romero really leave Tottenham for Arsenal?
Let’s be honest, the chance of a top player like Romero moving directly between these two north London rivals is highly unlikely.
It’s extremely rare for these clubs to do business together, even if there have been some high-profile cases of players representing both sides.
Sol Campbell controversially moved from Tottenham to Arsenal on a free transfer in 2001 – something Spurs would never have allowed if they’d been in control of his future.
Others such as David Bentley and Emmanuel Adebayor played for both clubs, but didn’t move directly from one to the other.
