The report indicates that Inter still has a number of alternative options on the table, as Romero is close to a move to Atletico Madrid.

The report did not include the names of the defenders that Inter is considering signing, but it confirmed that the club has several alternatives to turn to after giving up on the attempt to acquire Romero.
