Djed Spence to Inter, here we go. Fabrizio Romano says Tottenham have a verbal agreement in place with the Italian club for the England right wing-back, with the fee put at €31.5m (£27m). Romano also said Spence wanted the move, which makes this a pretty clean transfer story rather than a long-running saga.
Tottenham's willingness to sell
The fee matters because Tottenham are not selling from a position of strength. They finished 17th on 41 points, and this was the second year in a row they ended one place above the relegation zone. That helps explain why a sale, even for a player who had a strong season and broke through with England, is on the table.
Spence’s Tottenham spell was substantial. He made 85 appearances after arriving from Middlesbrough, and Spurs signed him for £12.6m in 2022. The move to Inter now looks like a chance for both sides to reset, with Tottenham taking the cash and the player pushing for a fresh start in Italy.
Inter's side of the move
Inter have also been moving like a club able to offer a stronger platform. Their recent domestic form reads WWDWW, and that sort of run is part of why the destination makes sense for Spence. If he is going to leave Tottenham now, Inter is the kind of switch that matches the size of the fee and the stage he has earned.
Romano’s wording is the key point here. This is not framed as interest or talks continuing, but as a verbal agreement with full agreement also in place with Spence. Unless something changes late, the story is basically set: Tottenham have agreed the sale, Inter want the deal, and Spence wants the move too.
