Inter Milan could look to cash in on Denzel Dumfries in the summer, with Tajon Buchanan already in the team as a replacement.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, who report that the Nerazzurri could aim to collect a fee of €35-40 million for the Dutchman.

Dumfries is a player whose future at Inter looks up in the air at the moment.

The Dutchman is now in his third season with the Nerazzurri. He joined from PSV in the summer of 2021.

Dumfries is still on the same four-year deal that he initially signed, which takes him until the end of June 2025.

And whilst the Nerazzurri have already completed the long-term contract extension of Federico Dimarco and are on course to do the same with Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella, the picture is different with Dumfries.

One thing that’s clear is that Inter don’t want to let Dumfries go into the final year of his deal without an extension.

Therefore, if the 27-year-old doesn’t sign a new deal, the Nerazzurri would look to sell him next summer.

Inter Could Replace Denzel Dumfries With Tajon Buchanan

Dumfries has been the subject of transfer interest in the past.

Particularly, Tuttosport note, from big money teams in the Premier League.

And Inter believe that they could still collect a fee of around €35-40 million for the Dutch international if they put him on the market.

If Dumfries departs, there would need to be a replacement. But Inter may well have already just signed one.

24-year-old Canadian international Buchanan arrived from Club Brugge at the start of this month.

The Nerazzurri paid a fee in the region of €10 million to sign Buchanan.

Buchanan arrived as a replacement for Juan Cuadrado on a certain level.

The Nerazzurri decided to intervene in January to sign a right-wingback due to the former Juventus man being out for much of the rest of the season after undergoing surgery.

Therefore, Buchanan will complete the options on the right along with Dumfries and the versatile Matteo Darmian.

But the Canadian could well be more than that.

Tuttosport note that Inter will see whether Buchanan is capable of becoming a starting-quality option on the right flank.

If the 24-year-old can do so, then the Nerazzurri may decide that the time is right to cash in on Dumfries in the summer.
