⚠️ Inter, Dumfries exit? New clause not expiring 15 July | OneFootball

Everything is still open for Denzel Dumfries' future. According to Sky Sport, the release clause in the Dutch winger's contract with Inter does not expire on July 15, as initially hypothesized, but only at the end of the month.

This means that interested foreign clubs, such as Barcelona and Manchester City, have more time to try to make a €25 million move. A sum that is not impossible for top European clubs.

📝 Contract and clause: all the details

The contract signed in November 2023 ties Dumfries to Inter until 2028, but includes a €25 million release clause, which can only be activated by foreign clubs by the end of July 2025. This was revealed by Matteo Barzaghi on X, explaining that the clause was a necessary condition to obtain the renewal.

Without it, Inter would have risked losing him for free. A low sum for the player's value, which makes the Nerazzurri's position vulnerable.

⏳ More time for top clubs: Inter trembles

The change in deadline (from July 15 to July 31) reopens the games: Manchester City and Barcelona, already interested in the Dutch winger, can now move calmly.

Inter had hoped for an early closure to reduce the risks, but now finds itself with a whole month ahead where anything can happen. And at these figures, no negotiation is necessary: just a straightforward payment and the player's okay.

🤔 Is Luis Henrique really the right substitute?

The club has already got its hands on a possible replacement: Luis Henrique, who arrived from Marseille.

His inclusion will require time and adaptation, and for now, he does not provide the same defensive and physical guarantees as Dumfries. A risk that Inter could pay dearly if the Dutchman were to leave.
