After the 4-1 victory of Argentina in Brazil, Zanetti spoke with TYC Sports about transfer rumors that link Romero to the Serie A leaders who need defensive support. Since the end of November, the Spurs defender has only made three Premier League performances due to a number of individual problems, but is a wanted man.
Sky Sports has claimed that Atletico Madrid is interested in signing the 26-year-old this summer, but it was Argentinian reporters who jokes with Zanetti about Romero's move to Inter Milan who could be on the cards.
“It's not easy because we are talking about very expensive players,” Zanetti replied smiling.
“The sustainability of the club is a challenge for everyone and a fundamental aspect.
“Romero is a complete defender. Before the interview that Argentina can rely on a defender who knows how to play, who marks well, is focused and is a leader. I really like him. He is one of those old-school, complete defenders. He has turned out to be an important player for Argentina.”
Kevin Danso is likely to be permanently signed for £ 21 million at the end of his Ligue 1 Club lens loan that could open the door for Romero to chase titles in Italy, much to Zanetti who clearly admires him.
