(Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images) The Nerazzurri had already agreed personal terms with Spence, who is all set to sign a contract to June 2031.
The two clubs are now working out the final details on the bonuses and how they will be structured before he can fly out for his medical.
He was one of the best performers for England at the 2026 World Cup and shone for his versatility, able to play on the right or left flank.
He’ll reunite at San Siro with fellow England defender John Stones, who joined Inter as a free agent from Manchester City.
Inter see him as the heir to Denzel Dumfries, who completed his transfer to Real Madrid this summer, but also potentially filling in for Federico Dimarco when required too on the left.
This represents a return to Serie A for Spence, who celebrated his 26 th birthday at the weekend.

What happened
Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur have agreed on a transfer for full-back/wing-back Spence, with Spurs accepting a base fee of €31.5m plus performance-related bonuses. The deal represents a significant investment by Inter in defensive reinforcement, likely for the wing-back position in their system. Tottenham, who originally signed Spence from Middlesbrough, appear to be recouping a notable profit as the player moves on after loan spells.
Chance analysis
Spence moving to Inter for €31.5m+ signals Inter's intent to strengthen their flanks, a key area given their wing-back-dependent system. For Tottenham, this is a clean sale of a player who did not establish himself in North London, and the fee represents good business for a player bought from Middlesbrough. The transfer will affect Inter's defensive depth and tactical options going into the new season.
Inter bolster their wing-back depth with a significant outlay; Tottenham finalize the departure of a surplus player for a strong fee.
Inter gain a wing-back option but should be assessed for tactical fit; Tottenham lose squad depth at the position.
