Chivu pushes for Spence and Jones: sales are needed first

Inter continues to work on the right winger position after the departure of Denzel Dumfries. In Chivu‘s mind, the tracks leading to two English profiles remain alive: Djed Spence from Tottenham and Curtis Jones from Liverpool.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Spence remains the favorite. The twenty-five-year-old Englishman is a versatile full-back, capable of playing on both flanks, and represents a profile appreciated by the entire management. Contacts with Tottenham are ongoing and are expected to intensify in the coming days. Inter aims to close the deal between 30 and 35 million euros, but Spurs are asking for 40. The gap still needs to be bridged.

The situation regarding Jones is more complicated. The Englishman is liked by Chivu, but the conditions have not changed compared to a few weeks ago: Liverpool continues to ask for 40 million despite his contract expiring in 2027. Compared to the Spence dossier, there are also some outgoing moves that have not yet materialized: Frattesi, Asllani, Akinsanmiro, but also Stankovic in case of out-of-market offers.

The attempts to fill the void left by Dumfries with Marco Palestra or Anan Khalaili have not been successful for different reasons, making the arrival of a reinforcement on the right wing even more urgent before the start of the championship.
