Inter Milan Facing Nervous Wait For Netherlands Star’s Release Clause To Expire – Barcelona Tempted To Move | OneFootball

Inter Milan are facing a nervous wait for the release clause of midfielder Denzel Dumfries to expire.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that Barcelona are considering a bid for the Dutchman.

Inter Milan are considering the possibility that they could lose Denzel Dumfries this summer.

The Nerazzurri will not lose the Dutchman for free. He signed a contract extension last year.

However, that new deal includes a release clause of €25 million.

Moreover, Inter are aware that Dumfries is not altogether happy with the harsh words from Inter captain Lautaro Martinez earlier this week.

Then, there is the fact that Dumfries has changed his agent to Jorge Mendes. That could very well be a signal of intent to leave the club this summer.

The release clause for Dumfries is the big reason for Inter’s anxiety. They are aware that €25 million would be less than the Dutchman is worth on the market.

However, there is a notable catch. The release clause for Denzel Dumfries is only valid until the fifteenth of July.

Therefore, Inter will have to wait another ten days.

Barcelona are weighing up a move for Dumfries. Meanwhile, there continues to be Premier League interest in the former PSV wingback.

However, if Inter can get through the next ten days without any club activating Dumfries’s release clause, then they will have much more control over the situation and can breathe a sigh of relief.
