Inter Milan are reportedly considering selling Denzel Dumfries to fund the expected arrivals of Piotr Zielinski and Mehdi Taremi.
The Nerazzurri have been selling one or two key players almost every summer in order to balance the books. They sold the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Achraf Hakimi and Andre Onana to keep the budget sheet afloat.
So according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInter1908, Dumfries could become the club’s next sacrificial lamb.
The pink newspaper identifies the Dutchman as the most suitable profile for the role given his contractual status.
The 27-year-old’s contract will expire in June 2025 and the management has failed to register noteworthy progress in the renewal talks with the player’s agents.
Therefore, next summer could well be the final chance for the Nerazzurri to sell the wingback and thus avoid losing his services for free a year later.
As the source explains, selling Dumfries would allow Inter to reinvest the cash on the arrivals of Zielinski and Taremi.
The Serie A leaders are making significant progress in their attempts to sign the Napoli midfielder and the Porto striker.
While both stars would arrive as free agents in the summer, they remain costly operations. These transactions usually involve hefty commissions, not to mention the players’ wages.

Moreover, the Nerazzurri signed Tajon Buchanan last week. The 24-year-old arrived to replace the injured Juan Cuadrado. However, he could prove to be Dumfries’ long-term heir on the right flank.
The Netherlands international joined Inter in the summer of 2021 following the departure of Hakimi.
He’s currently enjoying his most prolific campaign in Italy, contributing with two goals and four assists across all competitions.
