Inter Milan is gearing up for transfer talks with Tottenham Hotspur to sign defender Djed Spence, identifying the 25-year-old as a key target for the right flank ahead of the upcoming season.
According to Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A giants are preparing to engage with Spurs to advance their pursuit of Spence. Inter reportedly see the England international as a potential long-term successor to Denzel Dumfries and are willing to spend up to €35 million for him.
However, Inter is aware of Tottenham's reputation for tough negotiations and is hesitant to increase their offer if Spurs demand a higher price. The coming days are expected to be pivotal in determining if a deal can be struck.
Spence's stock has risen significantly, especially after a strong showing at the World Cup, where his performances validated his elite European credentials. This increased valuation might attract other clubs, potentially complicating Inter's transfer plans. Liverpool is also reportedly interested in signing Spence.
A move to Italy could appeal to Spence, who previously had a successful stint with Genoa and is seeking regular playing time. Competition for spots at Tottenham, with Pedro Porro established and the recent signing of Andy Robertson, might also influence his decision. A move to Inter Milan could offer him the consistent first-team action he desires, fitting well with their system.
The outcome of the upcoming discussions between Inter and Tottenham will likely shed more light on Djed Spence's future.
