Inter, Dumfries sure capital gain: but the transfer market is silent

The Dutch winger became the master of the right lane, eventually sparking the interest of big clubs like Bayern and Chelsea. At the Nerazzurri there is the certainty of having found a specialist in the role, with room for improvement which, in perspective, can also increase its value

From question mark to ace in the hole and (albeit reluctantly) market man. The fate of Denzel Dumfries changes as quickly as the lightning-fast thrusts on the wing to which he accustomed the fans in his first season with the Nerazzurri. The risk, now, is that some top European clubs will take him away thanks to the classic indispensable offer, thus pushing Inter to look for the third owner of the right lane in the last three years. The Dutchman has indeed attracted the attention of giants such as Bayern, United and Chelsea.

Yet, despite the budgetary needs and the famous sacrifice to be made necessarily, in Viale della Liberazione there is the will to keep the former PSV. Because it proved to be a strong point in a decisive role for Inzaghi’s schemes. Because the opposite lane has already changed with the passing of the torch between Perisic and Gosens. And because the Dutchman has shown, among other things, ample room for improvement which, if used properly, can only increase its value in view of a future sale.

PRECIOUS PIECE

Purchased last summer by PSV for 12.5 million plus bonuses, the 26-year-old from Rotterdam now has a value more than doubled, so much so that in Viale della Liberazione they would not even have considered offers of less than 30 million. To convince the Nerazzurri to undo the right lane again it would take a maxi offer of 40 million upwards, but it is a scenario that, after all, the management and the coach would like to avoid. Because Dumfries has proved to be a valuable strength from October onwards, making steady progress through application and willpower. The evolution of the Dutchman, especially in the defensive phase, surprised both Inzaghi and the management, who were also won over by the boy’s professionalism and seriousness. On balance, if the sacrifice has to be made, it is better to do it in another department.

GROWTH MARGINS (AND PROFIT)

Also because there is a risk that the sale of Dumfries today will turn out to be a sort of “own goal” tomorrow. Given the growth margins shown, it is likely that the valuation of the Dutchman will grow much more than it did in the last year and Inter obviously believe they can make an even richer sale in the future, with consequent monstre capital gains served. on a silver platter. It is also true that so far no top European club has made concrete offers capable of shaking the certainties and the Nerazzurri plans. Bayern, United and Chelsea have not gone beyond a simple exploratory poll. In addition, in the last fifteen days, every draft around the Dutchman has been extinguished in the bud, thus strengthening the chances of his stay in Milan. A hypothesis that, in the end, would make everyone happy, from the fans to the technician up to the person concerned.
