Dumfries Reconsiders Inter Offer to Renew His Contract

Inter and Denzel Dumfries couldn’t agree to an extension during the Autumn, which fueled rumors about his exit next summer since his deal is up in 2025. However, the player recently changed his mind and could lower his request, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

The wingback currently makes €2.5M. The Nerazzurri tendered €4M net plus add-ons. His camp reportedly asked for €5.5M, which was considered excessive by the team.

Inter and the entourage of Dumfries have reprised talking last week. The Dutchman is having second thoughts about leaving an elite team and especially a close-knit group.

The Nerazzurri are willing to negotiate and would eventually collaborate with his representatives on a way out if they couldn’t find common ground. The star has been playing second fiddle to Matteo Darmian in the last couple of months following a pair of physical problems. He has still put up 3 goals and 5 assists in 23 appearances.

Our Take on Inter and Dumfries

He likely didn’t like what he learned when his agent tested the waters about the prospective landing spots. One has to wonder whether his demotion was indeed fitness or tactically related and not a way to send him a message during the talks and perhaps dent his value a little in the process. We’ll see whether the turn of events will bear fruits. Despite his inconsistency and defensive flaws at times, it wouldn’t be easy or cheap to find a wingback as impactful in the final third when he’s cooking.
