According to numerous Italian media outlets, Inter Milan is on the verge of finalizing a deal for England international Djed Spence from Tottenham Hotspur. Reports from "Gazzetta dello Sport" indicate that both clubs have made significant progress in negotiations for the versatile full-back. The Nerazzurri are expected to secure the transfer for approximately 30 million euros, plus additional bonuses.
Inter is actively seeking a new right wing-back to replace Denzel Dumfries, whose release clause was activated by Real Madrid earlier in the transfer window.
Initially, the club attempted to sign promising Italian talent Marco Palestra from Atalanta before he ultimately joined Chelsea. Anan Khalaili was also close to a move, but issues arose during his medical examinations.
More recently, there were reports that Inter had once again turned their attention to Moussa Diaby, who has been linked with the club in previous transfer windows.
However, Italian media now claim that Spence is back at the top of Inter's wish list, and discussions with Tottenham are progressing well.
Earlier this summer, rumors circulated about Inter's interest in the English defender, but it was believed that Tottenham would demand a fee in the region of 40-50 million euros for the 26-year-old.
According to "Gazzetta dello Sport," the interest from Cristian Chivu's side never waned, and the Nerazzurri were simply waiting for Tottenham to lower their asking price. Inter also reportedly awaited Roberto De Zerbi's green light for the player's departure.
