Attributed to original sourceReports are growing rapidly in Italy and England that Djed Spence could join Inter for €30m plus add-ons from Tottenham Hotspur, a return to Serie A after his Genoa experience.
The hunt for the heir to Denzel Dumfries has been fraught with difficulty following his move to Real Madrid, as Chelsea swooped in at the last minute for Atalanta’s Marco Palestra, then Anan Khalaili failed a medical from Union Saint-Gilloise.

The figures provided were €30m plus add-ons, and now that is being confirmed in the UK too by The Athletic.
All the sources agree that Spence is enthusiastic about the idea of joining Inter, who are coming off a Serie A and Coppa Italia Double in 2025-26, so will play in the Champions League again this term.
His versatility is also important, able to play on the right or left as a full-back or wing-back.

(Photo by Buda Mendes/Getty Images) Spence turned 26 at the weekend and is no stranger to Serie A, because he was already at Genoa on loan from Tottenham from January to June 2024.
He was only meant to be the understudy to Stefano Sabelli, but worked his way into the first team on the left flank, eventually making 16 competitive appearances.
Genoa had an option to buy in June 2024 for €10m, and perhaps now regret not taking up that investment opportunity.
His value on the transfer market has since more than tripled, also thanks to his performances for England at the 2026 World Cup.

What happened
Inter Milan have lodged a €30m plus add-ons offer for Tottenham full-back Djordje Spence. The player himself is reportedly eager to make the switch to Serie A. Tottenham are now weighing whether to accept the proposal, which could represent a significant profit on the defender they signed from Genoa. The negotiation remains ongoing, with both clubs yet to reach a final agreement.
Chance analysis
A potential €30m+ deal for Spence would be a notable sale for Tottenham, recouping a significant sum on a player they signed recently. For Inter, adding a Premier League-proven wing-back would address a long-standing need for depth in wide defensive areas. The player's eagerness to move gives Inter leverage, but Spurs' willingness to negotiate suggests a deal is plausible if the structure of the bonus payments is acceptable.
If completed, Spence's departure weakens Tottenham's right-side defensive options while strengthening Inter's wing-back depth ahead of the new season.
