Inter Milan are reportedly preparing for a significant round of negotiations with Denzel Dumfries and his agents.
While the management is looking to maintain all key players for next season – barring irresistible offers – the Dutchman could be the exception.
That is due to his contract which will expire in June 2025, putting the club in a delicate spot.
The Italian champions have attempted to reach an agreement with the player’s representatives in the past, but to no avail.
The Nerazzurri offered to raise his wages from 2.5 million euros to 4M. This is the same salary that fellow wingback Federico Dimarco earns.
Nevertheless, Dumfries has been reportedly holding out for a net salary of 5 million euros.
So according to Il Corriere dello Sport via FcInterNews, the club directors will soon hold new talks with the Netherlands international’s agents.
These could be crucial negotiations to determine whether reaching an agreement is plausible or not.
As the Roman newspaper notes, Inter want to avoid losing the player’s services for free at all costs.
Inter Milan Prepare For Crucial Contract Talks With Denzel Dumfries
Therefore, if Dumfries rejects the club’s offer, the Beneamata will be desperate to sell him this summer, as they do not wish to leave themselves exposed for a free transfer in the following year.
In this case, the source expects major changes on Inter’s right-hand side.
The Nerazzurri will also part ways with Juan Cuadrado whose one-year contract will expire in June.
And with Simone Inzaghi preferring to play Tajon Buchanan on the left flank, this leaves Matteo Darmian as the only option on the right wing.
Therefore, the Serie A champions would certainly explore the market searching for a replacement.
The Italians have been linked with various profiles in recent weeks. This includes Man Utd’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
