Attributed to original sourceLa Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Djed Spence has given the green light to join Inter, and even if Tottenham are open to a sale, their asking price is €35m.
Tottenham full-back Spence has become Inter’s new target after the Nerazzurri failed to sign both Marco Palestra and Anan Khalaili.
The first one joined Chelsea instead of Inter, while Khalaili failed his medical tests before a €25m transfer plus add-ons could be completed.
According to Thursday’s Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper, Spence is open to joining Inter, so personal terms are not expected to be an issue.

Spence is expected to be Roberto De Zerbi’s second-choice option at right-back in 2026-27, with Spanish international Pedro Porro picked as right-back.
According to Gazzetta, Inter had also enquired about Pedro Porro earlier this summer, but found Tottenham uninterested in the Spaniard’s sale. Porro signed a contract extension until 2031 in North London this past June.
Spence, 25, is under contract with Tottenham until June 2029, but the club holds an option to extend for a further campaign.

What happened
According to a report, Djed Spence has expressed his desire to join Inter Milan, while his current club Tottenham are open to facilitating a transfer. Spence has struggled for game time at Spurs and a move to Serie A could offer him a fresh start. Inter are reportedly exploring options at full-back, making the England youth international a potential target. No fee or contract details have been disclosed at this stage.
Chance analysis
Spence has been surplus to requirements at Tottenham since arriving, failing to break into the first team on a consistent basis. A potential move to Inter would represent a significant step in his career, giving him the chance to compete at a top European club. For Tottenham, offloading Spence would recoup part of their investment and free up squad space and wage budget. For Inter, it would address a depth need at full-back while bringing in a young, athletic profile.
A potential upgrade to Inter's full-back depth if completed, while Tottenham would recoup a fringe asset and free up squad resources.
If Spence joins Inter, expect a boost to their full-back depth options but limited immediate fantasy/lineup impact unless he displaces incumbents.
