Inter Milan views Dumfries as dispensable asset for the club

Dutch footballer Denzel Dumfries may be one of Inter Milan’s “sacrificial pawns” during the summer transfer window, as the Serie A giants look to strengthen their market.

Dumfries’ performance has attracted significant interest from various clubs and his value has increased compared to last summer. Inter, on the other hand, are looking to the future, reportedly trying to secure a deal for Buchanan six months earlier than planned. They are also reported to be counting on Zanotti’s return from St. Gallen, according to Italian newspaper Tuttosport.

While it is still speculation, the possible transfer activities suggest the Nerazzurri are planning for the future, perhaps without Dumfries in their roster. Despite the Dutchman’s increased value and popularity, the club may deem it necessary to let him go in order to bring in other promising talents.

The potential early arrival of Buchanan and the return of Zanotti from his loan spell reveal Inter’s intent to refresh their squad, although that might mean sacrificing established players like Dumfries to facilitate these changes.
