Historical Context

Inter Milan’s 1995 £7.5 million signing of English midfielder Paul Ince—its first English player under new president Massimo Moratti—introduced resale clauses that Tottenham Hotspur later copied. Decades on, Inter repeats the model by paying roughly €30 million for England full-back Djed Spence, embedding a 10% future-sale share for Tottenham, highlighting Serie A’s growing reliance on English talent.
