Although he’s preparing to ink a new Inter Milan contract, Denzel Dumfries is still pondering a future in the Premier League.
The Dutchman has been a stalwart for the Nerazzurri on the right flank since joining the club in the summer of 2021.
The 28-year-old is currently running on an expiring contract, and many sources were tipping him to leave.
But in recent months, Inter managed to find a breakthrough in their negotiations with the player’s entourage.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport via FcInterNews, Dumfries will soon sign a new contract that includes a pay rise.
The Netherlands international’s current deal earns him 2.5 million euros per year. But after signing the renewal, he will be able to collect 4 million plus bonuses.
Nevertheless, the wingback insists on adding a relatively low release clause in his new contract.
As the Roman newspaper explains, the former PSV Eindhoven star still fancies a future in England.
Therefore, he would like to leave the door open for a Premier League switch, and an affordable buy-out clause would facilitate the passage.
Dumfries was repeatedly linked with both Aston Villa and Manchester United over the past few months.
Recently, these links faded as the player opted to extend his contract with the Italian champions. Nevertheless, they could resurface in the future, especially if the new deal were to include a release clause.
On another note, the source expects Dumfries to start on the bench once again tomorrow night against Atalanta.
The Dutchman has yet to hit his physical peak following his late return from the summer vacation.
Therefore, Simone Inzaghi has been trusting Matteo Darmian with a starting berth on the right flank.
The Italian repaid the coach’s trust by scoring the opener against Lecce last week. Hence, he will be the favorite to start once against on Friday night.
