What is behind Real Madrid’s interest in Inter’s Denzel Dumfries
1
Denzel Dumfries won the Serie A with Inter some weeks ago but there is every possibility of him leaving in the summer.
In the winter transfer window, Get Italian Football News looked at Liverpool’s interest in the Dutchman. A move didn’t go through but the wing-back has an affordable release clause in his Inter contract which can make his exit easy.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report about Real Madrid’s interest and go down why this has now emerged.
It is believed Los Blancos see Dumfries as an alternative to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who hasn’t always impressed in the Spanish giants’ colours. Ideally, Real Madrid would want Tottenham’s Pedro Porro but Spurs are likely going to be difficult candidates to deal with.
Dumfries’ €25 million release clause makes him an affordable target. Beyond that, Jose Mourinho has been a fan of his since his time at Manchester United. He would finally want to unite with him, with a deal also likely to hinge on the club’s upcoming presidential elections.
Entourage likely pushing
This feels like an effort from those around the player to help him earn the last major wage packet of his career. It is difficult to be certain of Real Madrid’s plans due to the obvious uncertainties, which makes these links even weirder.
It seems obvious Inter will lose the player too and would love nothing but a capital gain from his sale.
