Inter have reached an agreement with Tottenham for Djed Spence at €31.5m plus add-ons. The defender is set to sign a contract to June 2031, while the final bonus structure is still being worked out before he can fly out for his medical. The clubs are close, but the last piece is still about how those add-ons are structured.

Bonus structure is the remaining hurdle

Fabrizio Romano said on teamtalk.com that Inter had already sent an opening official bid and that Spence had said yes to Inter's contract conditions. He added that talks were ongoing between the clubs at a fee over €30m, with the hope of a club-to-club agreement.

Football-Italia's version is firmer on the numbers and the stage of the deal. Its reporting says Inter and Tottenham have already settled on €31.5m plus add-ons, with only the bonus mechanics left before the move can progress to a medical.

The gap between those two accounts is not huge. One frames the fee as being above €30m, the other puts the agreement at €31.5m plus add-ons. Either way, this is not being described as a loose or speculative chase.

Spence's own situation also fits the move. He has only 8 appearances in his 2026 all-competition sample, and his 6.78 all-competition rating points to steady output rather than a player arriving on a huge current workload. Across his last 5 matches, his average rating is 6.74.

Tottenham's wider defensive reshuffle

The Spence deal sits inside a broader Tottenham picture. TeamTalk has linked Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero and Spence himself with possible exits, while Gerard Romero has reported that Barcelona have sounded out Porro's entourage. He also said the situation around the right-back remains open.

TeamTalk has also suggested Tottenham could bank around €150m / £128m if all three defenders were sold. Spurs' last 5 results, W-D-W-L-W, do not look like a club in freefall, so this feels more like a planned reshuffle than a reaction to panic.

For Spence, the headline is still the same one: Inter have the player side done, Tottenham and Inter are close on the fee, and the only thing holding the move back is the bonus structure. Once that is settled, the medical should follow.
