Inter Milan could face a key decision over Denzel Dumfries this summer, with Liverpool reportedly placing the Dutch wing-back at the top of their transfer shortlist.
Dumfries has attracted Premier League interest in the past, but this window could prove decisive, according to TeamTalk, via L’Interista.
The Dutchman has returned strongly from injury and regained his place as an important figure in Cristian Chivu’s system, offering energy and attacking threat down the right flank.
However, Inter are aware that his situation could draw serious attention from England.
Reports suggest Liverpool are now pushing forward in their planning, identifying Dumfries as a priority target ahead of next season.
The move comes as the Reds look for reliability in that role following Jeremie Frimpong’s recurring fitness issues.
Liverpool Look To Take Advantage Of Release Clause For Inter Milan Star Dumfries
A key factor in the situation is Dumfries’ release clause, which is active for a brief period at around €25 million.
That figure makes him an attractive option for clubs seeking proven quality at a relatively accessible price, particularly in the current market.
From Inter’s perspective, any decision will depend on both sporting and financial considerations. Dumfries remains a valuable part of the squad, especially given his experience and physical profile.
At the same time, the club are planning adjustments in the wing-back positions, with uncertainty surrounding depth and long-term options.
For now, Inter are not actively pushing for a sale, but strong interest from Liverpool could test their resolve.
With the clause offering a clear pathway to a deal, the Nerazzurri may soon have to weigh up whether to cash in or retain a key contributor ahead of another demanding season.
nobody bought him last summer when he was wonderful in CL , I doubt any top team will buy him this summer after 4 months injury. Only midtable teams in PL will want him, but he doesnt want them
If we stay in a 3-5-2 we would really miss him. If we move to 3-4-3 or 4-2-3-1 we will be fine with a replacement
extend his contract then
if he doesn’t want to sign, and it’s likely he doesn’t, then we can’t extend it…
There’s not much Inter can do if any team matches the release clause even if he will be sorely missed, that should and must pave the way for Palestra to come in.
