According to the latest report from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the contract extension talks between Inter Milan and Dutch international Dumfries are currently in a state of uncertainty, and despite previous reports that Dumfries has accepted a new contract offered by Inter at €4 million a year, there are still variables as to whether or not he'll formally sign an extension at the end of the holiday season.
This news undoubtedly adds a layer of shadow to Inter's lineup planning. As an important member of the team, Dumfries' performance on the pitch has always been in the spotlight, and his stay or departure is directly related to Inter's competitiveness in the new season. However, in the face of the uncertainty of contract renewal, Inter's management has to start considering alternatives, just in case.
Previously, Inter had their sights set on Bologna's Swiss international N'Doye, but that option was eventually dropped due to his price tag of €25 million. Similarly, Manchester United's right-back Wan Bissaka failed to attract Inter's interest. This makes Inter's search for a replacement for Dumfries a challenging one.
However, according to the latest report from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have a brand new name in the right wingback attraction - Monaco's Brazilian right back Wandersson. The Brazilian international won Inter's favor with his outstanding performance, but also faces the problem of high price. It is reported that Wandersson's price is also around 25 million euros, which is undoubtedly a lot of money for Inter.
Therefore, although Inter appreciated Wanderers' ability, it is still very difficult to complete the deal. With a limited budget, Inter will need to weigh the pros and cons carefully to find the most suitable solution.
