Canada and Club Brugge winger Tajon Buchanan is Inter Milan’s top target to replace Denzel Dumfries this summer.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInter1908, who report that the 24-year-old is at the top of the Nerazzurri’s list for the possible event of Dumfries being sold this summer.

Wingback Denzel Dumfries could very well leave Inter this summer, two seasons after arriving from PSV.

The 27-year-old’s displays have become more consistent in recent months. This has particularly been the case in the Premier League, where Dumfries has looked like a defensive stalwart.

However, the overall sense remains that Dumfries has not exactly kicked on from his first season at Inter. Therefore, the Nerazzurri would listen to offers for his signature.

Chelsea have been heavily linked with Dumfries in the past couple transfer windows. However, Gianluca Di Marzio reports that both the Blues and Man United have cooled their interest in signing the Dutchman.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United have emerged as possible suitors for Dumfries in the past few weeks.

Tajon Buchanan Inter Milan’s Main Man To Replace Denzel Dumfries

If Dumfries were to be on his way, Inter have a specific name in mind to take his place.

Brugge winger Buchanan is seen by the club as an ideal profile in this respect. Inter have been scouting the Canadian for some time. They were particularly impressed with his displays at the World Cup over the winter.

As Tuttosport note, Buchanan has initially played as more of an attacking winger for Brugge.

However, the 24-year-old has shown great versatility for club and country.

Buchanan has taken well to a more defensive wide role, as well as a central midfield position. Inter see the Canadian as having exactly the attributes needed to replace Dumfries, particularly in terms of adding quality on the dribble to the squad.

According to Tuttosport, reports that Inter have already agreed a €15 million deal to sign Buchanan are premature. However, the newspaper do confirm that he is a serious target for the Nerazzurri.

Inter would be ready to go after Buchanan immediately in the event that Dumfries leaves.
