Overview
- Inter has already registered John Stones with the FIGC’s sport‑only equivalence in place, freeing the club from using an ordinary non‑EU slot for that signing.
- Negotiations for Djed Spence are advanced and the club expects to complete his move using one of the two available non‑EU registration places.
- Inter is actively pursuing Curtis Jones and Liverpool has reportedly trimmed its price toward about €30–35 million while Jones has signalled public preference for the club.
- The FIGC confirmed the sport‑registration equivalence on April 27, 2026, and since 2024–25 Serie A clubs may add two non‑EU players without freeing a previous slot provided one meets specific recent national‑team appearance criteria.
- The arrangement affects only sport registrations not Italian immigration rules, and clubs commonly combine FIGC exceptions with players’ dual passports to manage roster quotas and pursue more Premier League targets.
