Brescia central midfielder Romulo has confessed that he came close to joining Inter during the recent January transfer window.
During the January transfer window Inter drew no shortage of links to midfielders as they looked to bolster that department, something they would eventually do by adding Tottenham Hotspur’s Christian Eriksen in a circa €20 million deal in the final few days of the window.
“In the January transfer window I was in talks with Inter,” he revealed in an interview with journalist Nicolo Schira which was broadcast live on Schira’s Instagram profile.
“The Nerazzurri were looking for a midfielder and both Conte and Marotta knew me from when they wanted me at Juventus. My agent is still in contact with Beneamata and my contract will expire in June.”
The 32-year-old, former Juventus midfielder, then went on to reveal that he would like to work under Inter manager Antonio Conte in the future.
“I would love to work with Conte, my biggest regret is that I never had him as a manager, he really manages to get you to give something more. Who knows if I will be able to be managed by him in the future.”
Romulo is currently on loan at Brescia from fellow Serie A side Genoa and this season he has made 22 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored one goal and provided three assists for his teammates in just over 1700 minutes on the field.
