Inter Milan are already monitoring some profiles that could replace Dumfries
The Nerazzurri are considering Jackson Tchatchoua as a replacement of the Dutch
The summer transfer market has been closed for a few days but that does not mean that clubs have taken a break.
The January transfer market will serve to correct any problems that may arise along the way, it is natural to planning today in view of the next season. And of course Inter Milan is not exempt from this concept.
Until now the only file left open on Piero Ausilio’s desktop is the renewal of Denzel Dumfries' contract, due to expire in June.
For a long time between the Dutch side and the club nerazzurri there is an agreement on the 4 million euros (£3.3 million) net plus bonuses, which the player has accepted especially in the absence of alternatives to meet his expectations. And it is more than likely that the new agreement will eventually be signed, without however guaranteeing the stay of the former PSV Eindhoven in Milan in a year.
A renewal that would serve more to avoid a farewell to free transfer and to give time to all parties involved, because it is known that among the desires of Dumfries there is an experience in the Premier League.
Inter Milan, rightly, to avoid being found unprepared is already monitoring some profiles that could replace the Dutch in 2025, in case of sale.
According to Italian news FCInterNews, one of them is Jackson Tchatchoua, class 2001, wingback Cameroonian with Belgian passport who also in this second season is doing very well with Verona, which has paid 3 million euros (£2.5 million) from Charleroi.
Today he estimates about 15 million euros (£12.6 million), since Verona has already rejected 10 million euros (£8.4 million) from Everton, 10 million euros plus 2 bonus (£10 million) from Rennes and 11 million euros (£9.2 million) plus one from Napoli in the last days of market.
For sure another high-level season will make his valuation rise to 20 million euros (£16.8 million) next summer.
Waiting to understand what will happens to Dumfries, then, the Nerazzurri observers will continue to monitor Tchatchoua in the coming months to see if it could be an added value for the team of Simone Inzaghi and if, in this case, it can replace the Dutch if an acceptable offer from the Premier League comes.
