Inter didn’t complete a major sale last summer, but their financial obligations haven’t changed. They’ll likely have to cash in on a centerpiece by the end of June. Denzel Dumfries is in the crosshairs of a few sides and could be sacrificed, Corriere dello Sport informs.
The Nerazzurri received solid bids for the Dutchman in the recent past. However, they declined them as they thought they would part ways with Milan Skriniar. That hung in the balance until August, and the club eventually held onto all its jewels.
On the other hand, the mandate from the Chinese ownership is still to rake up money from the transfer market in the current balance session. While advancing in Champions League eases the burden a little, a significant departure will probably have to go through. Dumfries figures to be one of the most profitable pieces.
Chelsea pursued the wingback in the past window, but they wanted to include him in the Romelu Lukaku deal. Bayern Munich showed interest as well, and they are no strangers to signing Dutch players. Manchester United was in the mix too. The Nerazzurri are open to selling him in January already if the buyer lets him finish the season in Milan.
Our Take on Dumfries
They avoided it in the recent past, but their economic situation stays the same, and they’ll have to pay the piper in the next eight months. Skriniar’s price tag won’t be sizeable in January if he doesn’t pen an extension beforehand, and he’ll stay put for years to come if he does. Therefore, they’ll have to decide who’s easier to replace between the fullback, Nicolò Barella, Alessandro Bastoni, and Lautaro Martinez.
