Djed Spence has arrived in Milan ahead of his move to Inter, with the deal built around a €35m package and Tottenham keeping a 10 per cent cut of any future sale. The defender has also settled on No. 24 for his Serie A return.
Inter's deal structure
The fee is split into €31.5m guaranteed plus add-ons that take it to the full €35m. That is the headline number here, and it is the one Inter have agreed to pay for a player who is now heading back to Italy.
Tottenham's sell-on clause gives them a share if Spence moves again, which is the kind of detail clubs do not usually build in unless they think there is resale value left. Spence will wear the same No. 24 shirt he had at Tottenham last season, a number previously worn at Inter by Christian Eriksen.
Spence's return to Serie A
Spence already knows the country from a six-month loan spell at Genoa in 2024, so this is not a leap into a totally new setting. He was greeted by media and fans after landing in Milan late on Thursday night, and Gianluca Di Marzio reported: "Djed Spence è arrivato a Milano! Il laterale inglese sosterrà le visite mediche da nuovo giocatore dell'@Inter."
The move also comes after a busy 2026 for Spence, with 8 appearances across all competitions, 434 minutes and a 6.78 average rating. He also made 6 World Cup appearances in 2026, which helps explain why Inter see him as more than a stopgap option.
The remaining formal steps are the medical and the signature, but the shape of the move is already set. Inter get a player who has a recent run of senior football, Tottenham keep a sell-on, and Spence goes back to Serie A wearing No. 24.
