Inter Eye Tottenham’s Spence And Romero In Transfer Talks

Spence emerges as realistic target

Inter have opened a dialogue with Tottenham about right‑flank options, focusing on Djed Spence. The Italian club values the English winger above £30 million, with sources pushing the figure toward £40 million. Spence’s appeal lies in his blend of physicality and pace, qualities Inter’s scouting department likes. There’s also a subtle hint that the player is open to a move because he feels he is not central to De Zerbi’s plans, making this a tactical opportunity rather than a rupture.

Romero’s wish to leave opens loan possibility

Negotiations quickly expanded to include Cristian Romero, whose desire to leave Spurs has forced the club to seek a solution. Inter admire the Argentine centre‑back and see him as a perfect fit for their back line, but the price tag starts at £40 million and can climb to £50 million. Since the combined outlay for both players would near £80 million, the only realistic path is a loan deal, possibly with Spurs accepting a temporary transfer.

Inter weigh alternatives to balance budget

To keep the financial burden manageable, Inter have other options on their radar. Names such as Nahuel Molina, Belghali (available for about £12 million), Givairo Read and Vanderson each bring different profiles and price points. Belghali’s lower cost could serve as a compromise, while previous links with Khalaili suggested a £25 million plus‑bonus route. These alternatives keep the conversation fluid and give Inter flexibility in any final agreement.

What this means for Tottenham

From a Spurs standpoint, Romero’s public intention to leave is a warning sign for the back‑room. Elite clubs try to avoid having a player’s intentions aired before a deal is structured, and that weakens Tottenham’s negotiating leverage despite the high asking price. Spence’s potential departure also raises concerns; his athleticism and pace have been part of the squad’s rebuilding narrative, and losing him could erode depth just as a new coach settles in. Fans will watch whether Inter’s interest materialises into signings or remains a tactical footnote for the upcoming window.
