After recurring rumors in the lead-up to the summer window, Inter haven’t been busy trying to find a substitute for Denzel Dumfries because the negotiations to extend his contract were reprised and advanced. The wingback appears to have made up his mind and is set to accept the team’s offer, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
The parties have virtually reached an agreement and are working on the details. The signature could come in August. The Dutchman would tack on three years to his current deal, pushing the expiration date to 2028.
If all goes well, Dumfries will receive a substantial but not exorbitant pay rise from Inter. His wages would grow from €2.5M to €4M annually. His entourage tested the waters to see if he could earn more elsewhere but didn’t find a taker. Since it’s an extension, the Nerazzurri will continue enjoying the fiscal benefits of the ‘Decreto Crescita.’
The Scudetto holders would have targeted Monaco’s Vanderson if they had to. A swap with Manchester United involving Aaron Wan-Bissaka was probed by some intermediaries, but it didn’t have legs. He’s likely to join West Ham. The Red Devils would replace him with Noussair Mazraoui, Foot Mercato informs.
Our Take on Inter and Dumfries
His salary will still be manageable, and he didn’t seem in a rush to leave in his latest statements. After all, they would have struggled to find somebody as impactful offensively as his best version without spending a lot, which they are probably not in a position to do. They’ll be hoping for more consistency from him now.
