This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. The newspaper anticipate that Inter want at least €30 million for the Dutchman, whilst the player’s wage demands would be €5 million net per season.
This summer is a corssroads for 28-year-old former PSV wingback Dumfries.
The Dutchman joined Inter in the summer of 2021. He replaced Achraf Hakimi following the Moroccan’s move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Dumfires signed a four-year contract when he joined the Nerazzurri. And that is the contract that the Dutchman is still on.
Therefore, Dumfries’s deal runs out at the end of next June as things stand.
For this reason, Inter want to either extend Dumfries’s deal, or else cash in on the player this summer while they have the chance.
As of yet, the status of contract talks is up in the air. There have been negotiations, but Dumfries has yet to sign a new deal as there is still distance as far as wages are concerned.
Therefore, Inter could sell Dumfries this summer.
