He can then spend the night in a hotel to prepare for Friday’s medical tests, which must be performed first with the club, then the CONI (Italian Olympic Committee) specialists.
Once those tests are completed, he can sign the five-year contract, which is believed to be worth €2.6m per season plus performance-related bonuses.
It has been suggested that Spence has already chosen his shirt, taking the Number 24 that was worn in the past by another ex-Tottenham player, Christian Eriksen.

What happened
Spence is preparing to board a flight to Italy tonight to finalize his transfer to Inter Milan from Tottenham. The deal is reportedly worth €35 million including performance-related bonuses. The transfer would see the young defender move to Serie A, where Inter are looking to strengthen their squad. The move represents a significant profit for Tottenham if completed, as Spence had not been a regular starter for the North London club.
Chance analysis
This is a concrete transfer development with a disclosed fee, suggesting an imminent move. Inter are investing €35m in a young defender, indicating they see him as a long-term squad piece. For Tottenham, this frees up wage space and a non-essential squad player. The late-stage nature of the story (player flying out for medicals) means the deal is likely to be confirmed within 24-48 hours.
Inter gain a young defensive option for €35m; Tottenham recoup funds and offload a fringe player, freeing wage and squad space.
Monitor Inter's defensive depth chart — Spence is likely a rotation/depth addition rather than a guaranteed starter, so the impact on Inter's starting XI is moderate.
