Inter Milan believe they can sell Denzel Dumfries to sign Perr Schuurs and Stephane Singo from Torino. The right-back is also a transfer target for Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur.
That is according to CalcioMercatoWeb, which reports the San Siro hierarchy are already looking ahead to the summer transfer window. The Serie A squad are giving serious thought to their potential off-season moves to improve coach Simone Inzaghi’s defensive options.
Schuurs and Singo are the two names set to sit at the top of Inter Milan’s shopping list at the end of the season. Nerazzurri chiefs admire the centre-back and right-back owned by Torino. They are also ready to move for Schuurs despite him only leaving Ajax last August.
Juventus are also showing strong interest in securing Singo’s transfer from Torino. But the San Siro natives believe they can sell Dumfries and raise enough funds to sign the 22-year-old and his 23-year-old teammate. Inzaghi feels Schuurs and Singo are ideal for his system.
So, Inter Milan would welcome substantial offers for Dumfries’ transfer as the 26-year-old has not totally convinced Inzaghi. He has also struggled to completely win Nerazzurri chiefs over since his arrival from PSV Eindhoven for €12.5m (£11m), plus €2.5m (£2m) in add-ons.
Aston Villa and Tottenham are interested in Dumfries’ transfer from Inter Milan
Aston Villa and Tottenham are among an array of Premier League teams interested in Inter Milan ace Dumfries’ possible transfer. Gazzetta dello Sport notes Spurs boss Antonio Conte and managing director Fabio Paratici both like the 42-cap Netherlands international ‘a lot’.
But it adds interest from Chelsea and Manchester United in Dumfries and a sky-high asking price. Inter Milan would want offers worth around €60m (£53m) to start negotiations over the defender’s services. Yet Spurs will make a bid in January if they sense a deal is achievable.
Aston Villa also have an interest in securing Dumfries’ transfer from Inter Milan, according to Inter Live. It also notes that the Rotterdam native, who Micah Richards praised during the World Cup in Qatar, will only consider leaving the San Siro for a top Premier League team.
“Dumfries, I mean, what a player he is!” Richards said on BBC One (03/12, 17:03) after the Netherlands’ 3-1 win against the USA in the last 16, in which he also scored. “I just thought that his whole game was brilliant. Starting with the assist and it was the timing of his runs.”
