Inter Milan plan to offer Denzel Dumfries a new contract with the €25 million release clause removed, putting the decision over his future firmly in the Dutch wing-back’s hands as Premier League clubs Liverpool & Aston Villa circle.
Interest from England remains strong, as noted via L’Interista.
Manchester United, Liverpool and Aston Villa all monitor the situation closely. Whoever triggers the clause this summer wins the race, unless Inter act first.
The Nerazzurri’s plan is clear. Remove the clause, improve the terms and present a compelling project. Then wait for Dumfries to decide.
Indeed, the choice belongs almost entirely to the player himself.
According to reports, Inter understand the appeal of the Premier League for Dumfries. They know he has long harboured ambitions to test himself in England.
Furthermore, the club plan to sell him on the strength of their project, not just a financial offer.
Dumfries wants to feel like a protagonist at a great club. Inter will argue they can offer him exactly that.
Therefore, the summer will prove decisive. The clause activates in July. If Inter finalise a renewal before that window opens, the clause disappears and English interest becomes irrelevant.
However, if Dumfries delays, or signals a desire to leave, the door opens for a Premier League move at a fee that would represent a significant profit on what Inter paid for him.
For now, everyone waits. The season finishes first.
