After the “breakup” last autumn, the parties have seen each other and the outsider has opened up to the extension beyond 2025, mitigating his economic demands
Denzel Dumfries opens to renewal with Inter. After last autumn the Dutchman had rejected the possibility of signing the extension beyond 2025, nullifying the club’s possibility of taking advantage of the advantages of the Growth Decree, now the negotiation is back in full swing and there has already been more than one contact between the player’s entourage and the Viale della Liberazione management. Denzel has understood that it is not easy to find another team that guarantees him to compete at high levels like Inter, to earn a significant salary and to live in a city that he likes like Milan. That’s why he revised his position and the Zhang family club was happy to sit at the table again to negotiate. Because the dual prospect of having to sell him by force next summer and looking for another “fifth” on the right of his level would not have made life easy for Marotta, Ausilio and Baccin.
CEILING AT 4 MILLION
—
Last autumn, Inter had offered Dumfries a salary similar to that of, for example, Dimarco, i.e. 4 million (net) plus bonuses. The former PSV player thought he deserved much more and had asked for 1.5 million more, effectively making any attempt at mediation useless. Denzel has since been injured, struggled to regain fitness and lost his starting spot to Darmian. Furthermore, the Growth Decree, which gave tax advantages to the company, has disappeared. The divorce seemed inevitable but instead negotiations have resumed and now there is confidence that an extension can be reached before the end of the season. At the figures proposed by the club, i.e. 4 million net plus bonuses per season.

It may be a coincidence, or perhaps not, but after the resumption of negotiations, Dumfries returned to performing at good levels: against Salernitana, as a starter, he scored the goal to make it 3-0 and gave Arnautovic the assist to make it 4- 0, but also with Atletico, despite starting from the bench, he provided an important contribution. And on Sunday in Lecce he could take advantage of the enthusiasm of the moment which is positive for him by wearing a shirt in the starting eleven again. A signature, or if you prefer the prospect of… a signature, changed his season. Waiting for the white smoke. Unless there is a new change of heart.
