Inter Milan are negotiating with Tottenham Hotspur to sign right-back Djed Spence for €30 million.
The move is motivated by Inter’s need for a right-back after Denzel Dumfries transferred to Real Madrid.
Inter director Cristian Chivu says Spence’s defensive strength and two-sided versatility make him preferable to Moussa Diaby.
Both clubs aim to complete the transfer before the Serie A season, though Spence may require training after his World Cup break.

History

Historical Context

In summer 2005, Chelsea, under José Mourinho and Roman Abramovich, swapped William Gallas and paid £5 million to acquire Arsenal right-back Ashley Cole, a signing that helped the club clinch the Premier League that season and later add FA Cup and League Cup trophies. Inter Milan now mirrors that approach, pursuing Tottenham’s Djed Spence, showing how high-profile right-back signings have shaped transfer strategies across Europe.
