Inter continues to work on the wing market, with Djed Spence remaining the top name on the list for the right flank. However, the valuation of the Tottenham player has settled between 35 and 40 million euros, a figure that has risen after his good World Cup performance and the interest of other English clubs.
As reported by Quotidiano Sportivo, the Nerazzurri management is also considering more affordable options. Rafik Belghali represents the economical alternative, with an estimated cost of around 15 million. A sensational return of Ivan Perisic is not ruled out either, as he would look favorably on a second chapter in Milan.
The timing of the operation will not be immediate. Even if negotiations for Spence were to accelerate, the player would not be available before August 9-10. Inter will proceed without pressure, aware of the necessary timing.
On the outgoing front, the situation remains at a standstill. Matteo Cocchi is the closest to leaving, with a destination of Padova on loan with an option to buy and a buy-back clause. Rumors of a possible transfer of Bastoni to Al-Hilal have already died down: the Saudis have closed for Summerville at 80 million and will have to make room by selling another foreign player, possibly Akcicek.
In defense, the chances of Pavard staying are increasing. With the Frenchman still in the squad, the club is unlikely to make a major investment in the defensive department. However, the management is monitoring possible opportunities, from Lucumí to Romero, keeping all options open.
