TORONTO – August 12, 2021: Inter Milan have agreed a deal with PSV Eindhoven for the transfer of Denzel Dumfries. The Dutch right-back has agreed personal terms and will have a medical in the next few days before being unveiled.
He comes in as a direct replacement for the departed Ashraf Hakimi, who was part of an incredible summer of transfers at Paris Saint-Germain. Similar to Hakimi, Dumfries excels going forward, whilst also possessing the needed defensive capabilities.
The fact he can play on the right of midfield, too, hands Inter Milan some crucial versatility in a squad which seems to be growing smaller and smaller every week.
After impressing many with his sheer athleticism at Euro 2020, Denzel Dumfries was bound to get his big move. The competition put him on the map; made people stand up and recognize him and made him a must-buy for a top club this summer.
Having faced competition from Everton, Inter will be delighted to finally agree a deal with PSV. The price is currently unknown, but, if it’s within good reason, Inter will have themselves the bargain of the summer.
The good news is needed, as well, it must be said, with the summer more disastrous than progressive so far at the San Siro. Antonio Conte kicked it all off by leaving, before Romelu Lukaku followed suit, with a move to Chelsea now imminent. Not to mention the departure of Hakimi.
Now, however, they are set to welcome two fresh faces. One being the mentioned Dumfries. The other being Edin Dzeko from Roma to create a blend of experience and players in their prime.
Simone Inzaghi will have a monumental job on his hands to retain the Scudetto, but securing crucial reinforcements is a key step forward.
