Inter will know fairly soon whether Denzel Dumfries is a keeper or a goner. They want a definitive answer to their contract proposal before the end of Serie A. He’ll be put on the market if it’s negative, TuttoSport informed (via OneFootball).
In that event, the Nerazzurri would look to fetch €25/30M from his sale. His value isn’t at its peak due to a poor second half of the season. Still, it’d be a sizeable ‘plusvalenza’ considering they paid €14M to acquire him from PSV Eindhoven three years ago.
Inter have three players in their crosshairs to succeed Dumfries: Atalanta’s Emil Holm, AZ Alkmaar’s Yukinari Sugawara, and Fiorentina’s Michael Kayode. They are all worth around €15M.
La Dea will most likely buy out the Swede from Spezia for €8.3M after shelling out a €2.5M initial fee. He has featured 30 times but hasn’t always been a regular and got hurt twice.
The Japanese international has hit the net 4 times and provided 8 assists in 40 matches this campaign. His contract ends in 2025, which might facilitate his summer exit.
Our Take on Inter and the Dumfries Heir
They can afford to roll the dice with a youngster, perhaps one their already own, Tajon Buchanan, thanks to Matteo Darmian. In any case, they should target somebody with clear offensive traits to have more variety. It’d be surprising if the Bergamaschi sold Holm after just one year, where he alternated great stretches with subpar ones. Kayode is also still just scratching the surface at Fiorentina.
