Denzel Dumfries Release Clause Expires at Inter Milan

Denzel Dumfries’ €25 million release clause with Inter Milan has expired. This changes any potential transfer deals for the Dutch full-back.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Dumfries‘ €25 million clause was valid until the end of July 2025. Now, clubs must negotiate directly with Inter to sign Dumfries. Recently, clubs like Barcelona showed interest, but no move happened before the deadline. Any new bid must be much higher than the expired clause allowed.

IMPACT ON INTER AND DUMFRIES

Dumfries is a key part of Inter Milan’s defense. Last season, he played 41 games, scored seven goals, and provided three assists from the right wing-back position. Inter Milan finished second in Serie A, two points behind Napoli. Dumfries’ speed, crossing, and work rate helped the team a lot.

NEXT STEPS FOR CLUB AND PLAYER

Inter Milan can set their own price for Dumfries now and have a strong negotiating position. Dumfries is still central to Christian Chivu’s tactical plans. Inter’s first match of the new season is against Torino. Barcelona, which had interest in Dumfries, must shift focus or prepare for tough negotiations.
