With the World Cup archived, Djed Spence is back at the center of the Nerazzurri transfer market. The English winger remains Inter‘s first choice to inherit from Denzel Dumfries, and in the coming days the negotiations could take a decisive step forward.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Milanese club is ready to deal directly with Tottenham to verify the concrete feasibility of the operation. The central issue remains the financial demand: the Spurs value the player at around 35 million euros. The Nerazzurri management does not intend to exceed this amount, aware that excessive spending on the wing would compromise investments in other areas.
Cristian Chivu‘s appreciation for Spence is also confirmed due to his tactical versatility, but Inter is keeping several alternatives open. Among the profiles still being monitored are Vanderson from Monaco, Givairo Read from Feyenoord, Nahuel Molina, and Guela Doué. These are players with different technical characteristics and not always lower costs.
On the defensive front, evaluations remain linked to the future of Benjamin Pavard. Should the Frenchman remain in the squad, a single reinforcement might suffice. In this scenario, the name of John Stones is back in the spotlight, available on a free transfer after the end of his experience at Manchester City. The English defender had already offered himself in recent months and would represent a solution with great international experience without transfer costs.
The main obstacle remains the salary, but Stones‘ financial demands could prove to be lower than initial estimates. His possible arrival would allow resources to be redistributed to other targets, particularly on the right wing and in midfield. Next week, with the meeting for Spence and decisions on the defensive department, could prove decisive in defining the Nerazzurri’s transfer market priorities.
