Middlesbrough are set to benefit financially from the star’s expected move from Tottenham to Inter Milan through a 15% sell-on clause.
Middlesbrough are in line to receive a valuable financial boost as Djed Spence prepares to finalize his transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Inter Milan. As reported by Spurs Insight on X, the Championship outfit negotiated a 15% sell-on clause on any profit generated by Tottenham from a future sale when they originally transferred the England international defender to Spurs in July 2022.
With negotiations between Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan entering their final stages for a total fee exceeding €30 million, Middlesbrough will collect a percentage of the net profit earned by Spurs on the player’s capital valuation.
When Tottenham Hotspur acquired Spence from Middlesbrough in 2022, the initial transaction was structured around a base fee that eventually grew to approximately £20 million through performance-related add-ons. Having already unlocked several bonus milestones during Spence’s time in North London, Boro are now entitled to a direct cut of any surplus amount Spurs receive above their initial financial layout.
Under the terms of the original agreement, Middlesbrough’s 15% clause applies specifically to the net profit realized by Tottenham. As Inter Milan finalize the final transfer structure in the region of €30 million to €31.5 million, Middlesbrough’s financial department will track the closing figures to claim their designated share.
From the Riverside to Champions League Football
Spence’s imminent arrival at San Siro marks a major career milestone following his departure from Middlesbrough four years ago. After developmental loan spells across Europe and a standout campaign with England during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 26-year-old full-back established himself as a sought-after talent on the European market.
For Inter Milan, securing Spence delivers an immediate primary solution at right wing-back to replace Denzel Dumfries following his high-profile move to Real Madrid. Having previously gained valuable Serie A experience during a loan spell with Genoa, Spence brings proven familiarity with Italian tactical expectations as he prepares to make his official transition to San Siro.
