Tottenham Hotspur are facing a potential double exit, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that both Djed Spence and Cristian Romero could leave the club this summer. There is real interest from clubs such as Inter Milan and Liverpool, as the Serie A side looks to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season.
As Tottenham navigates a promising transfer window, having secured several key signings, they are also tasked with offloading players to meet Roberto De Zerbi’s ambitious plans. According to Football365, Inter Milan is actively pursuing discussions regarding Spence and Romero, indicating Spurs are open to further sales.
Pressure on Spurs as Romero and Spence attract attention
Romano clarified that reports indicate Inter Milan’s interest in both Spence and Romero has intensified. While the Italian club views Spence as a prime target for the right wing-back position, they face a hurdle with Tottenham’s valuation. Spurs are reportedly holding out for £50 million for Romero and £40 million for Spence, both prices exceeding Inter’s expectations.
Romero’s link to Inter and interest from others
Romero has long been on the radar of Spanish clubs including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid, but recent reports suggest Inter have gained momentum in their pursuit. Their familiarity with Romero from his earlier Serie A career adds an edge to their interest.
Spence’s market value and Liverpool’s interest
Both Liverpool and Newcastle United are said to be observing developments concerning Spence’s potential departure from Tottenham. Although their interest remains speculative, it raises the question of whether Spurs will consider an attractive offer for the England international, despite the concerns expressed by former Spurs scout Bryan King regarding selling for less than £50 million.
The SportiveNews view
This situation hinges on Tottenham’s willingness to negotiate on player prices. Both Spence and Romero are valuable assets, and Spurs may be reluctant to part with them unless a tempting bid presents itself. With Inter’s ongoing talks and potential competition from Liverpool, timing will be crucial in finalising any deals.
