Inter are becoming increasingly unlikely to engage in negotiations for a new contract with Denzel Dumfries. Consequently, he is expected to be transferred during the summer window, with potential destinations being Manchester United or Bayern Munich.
The 27-year-old’s current contract with the club expires in June 2025, and attempts to prolong the agreement have stalled. Moreover, his appearances in the starting lineup under coach Simone Inzaghi have dwindled.
According to reports from FcInterNews.it, the prevailing strategy is to offload the Dutch player at the conclusion of the season to prevent the risk of losing him as a free agent in 2025.
This decision stems from his agent’s demand for €5 million per season in wages, exceeding Inter’s maximum offer of €4 million.
Manchester United and Bayern Munich are the frontrunners expected to pursue Dumfries, with previous links to the player. However, the likelihood of a deal hinges on whether Erik ten Hag remains at the helm of Manchester United next season.
Dumfries was acquired from PSV Eindhoven in August 2021 for €14.25 million, and his estimated selling price is around €40 million.
Inter has already secured his replacement in the squad by acquiring Canada international Tajon Buchanan from Club Brugge for €7 million.
