Denzel Dumfries is set to extend his stay at Inter Milan, confirming that the Dutch international will sign a new deal worth four million euros per season until 2028. The agreement will be finalized in early August, right after Dumfries returns from his vacation following the European Championship. This renewal provides reassurance for head coach Simone Inzaghi, who will retain a key player for the right flank and eliminates the need to look for alternatives.
However, there’s a twist involving Manchester United, which brings an interesting dynamic to Dumfries’ situation. Rafaela Pimenta, who was Dumfries’ former agent, is currently working on a deal to move Noussair Mazraoui, the Moroccan right-back leaving Bayern Munich, to Old Trafford. He is Erik ten Hag’s preferred choice but is contingent upon the sale of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has struggled in recent seasons with the Red Devils.
Dumfries became part of this discussion because, just a couple of months ago, a potential swap deal involving him and Wan-Bissaka was discussed, but Inter opted not to go ahead with it. Despite this, Dumfries remains on Manchester United’s radar as a secondary target. His name has surfaced in their conversations about Mazraoui, adding another layer of intrigue to the situation.
Nonetheless, it’s clear that Dumfries is on the brink of signing his renewal with Inter, making it appear that his future is secure with the Milan club. His journey has seen him transition from Rotterdam to Heerenveen, with even a brief stint representing Aruba on the international stage, where he notched a goal before establishing himself with the Netherlands squad.
Last season saw Dumfries play a vital role in helping Inter clinch the Scudetto with an impressive tally of four goals in 31 appearances. With his trusted partnership with Matteo Darmian, Inzaghi knows he can rely on Dumfries going forward. After all is said and done, it seems that the script here will end with Dumfries firmly renewing his commitment to Inter Milan, ensuring his place at the club is locked down for the foreseeable future.
