Inter Milan's Transfer Targets: Spence for the Wing, Jones for Midfield

The summer transfer window is buzzing, and Inter Milan is no exception. While speculation is rife, the Nerazzurri management is strategically working to enhance the squad that recently clinched both the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia, leaving rivals trailing behind.

With potential departures like de Vrij and Acerbi, defensive reinforcements are a priority. The acquisition of Stones would be a significant upgrade. Having missed out on Cristian Romero, who is reportedly close to joining Atletico Madrid, Inter is now focusing on Spence. He is the club's primary target in recent weeks for the right wing position. Inter lacks a natural right-sided winger, and while Nico Gonzalez and Diaby were considered, they don't fit the profile envisioned by Chivu, who is pushing for the English talent. Spence is considered a top-tier winger capable of playing on both the right and left flanks, as evidenced by his performances at the World Cup. Tottenham is asking for €40 million, a steep price, but Inter has not entirely closed the door on his potential arrival. Of course, player sales would facilitate such a move. However, with the league kicking off in just 10 days, offloading players like Asllani, Massolin, Frattesi, and Luis Henrique is proving challenging. Chivu would reportedly prefer Pavard over the Brazilian winger, who has not met the coach's expectations in pre-season friendlies.

Spence isn't the only player on Cristian Chivu's radar; Curtis Jones is also being considered. After targeting a winger, the focus shifts to strengthening the midfield, possibly through a sale. Curtis Jones from Liverpool is a name being discussed. Liverpool's initial valuation is €40 million, but this price is expected to decrease significantly in the coming months, potentially becoming much more affordable in the final days of the transfer window. The Inter management is demonstrating a measured approach to transfers, prioritizing strategic acquisitions over hasty decisions.
