- Sources cite Romero as receptive to a return to Italy and say Inter have prepared personal terms, though those contract details remain unconfirmed by the clubs.
- Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi publicly said players who are not committed to the club should leave, a stance that matches Spurs' recent defensive signings and gives the club room to consider offers.

- Further talks between Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio and Tottenham executives are expected in the coming days and any agreement will be watched for its impact on Spurs' squad reshaping and Inter's defensive plans.
