Cristian Romero open to joining Arsenal as Tottenham resists transfer
Summary

Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero has shown willingness to transfer to Arsenal, according to reports. Arsenal seeks defensive reinforcements following William Saliba's injury.

Instead, Atlético Madrid and Inter Milan have emerged as potential destinations for Romero, with both clubs making progress in negotiations. As a result, Arsenal is exploring other options, including targets like Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa.
