Without Denzel Dumfries, Inter Milan will lose a key element, but his departure is, it seems, very close to materializing. Real Madrid must deposit 20 million euros, an amount corresponding to the Dutch international's release clause, who, at 30 years old, sees this as a unique opportunity to wear the shirt of one of the few clubs whose historical weight surpasses that of Inter.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter were made aware of the situation around a month ago. The player's entourage informed coach Cristian Chivu and the Nerazzurra board, who could only take note and accelerate the attack on Marco Palestra, Atalanta's 2005 winger, equally coveted by Premier League sharks, with Manchester City on the front line.
The next steps before Dumfries' move to Real Madrid are outlined: on Sunday, Florentino Pérez is expected to be re-elected president of the Whites. Afterwards, the former PSV will send an email to Viale della Liberazione, Inter's headquarters, announcing that the clause will be settled. In practice, the payment will be made by the Whites — a detail that barely changes the essence.
What counts, for now, is that Dumfries is one short step away from swapping Inter's shirt for Real Madrid's.
