Inter Milan stay alert as Liverpool enquire about Dumfries

The Dutch wing-back monitored by the Reds amid fitness concerns

Inter Milan remain vigilant over the Denzel Dumfries situation, with Liverpool having requested information on the Dutch wing-back in recent hours. 

According to Fcinter1908, the Reds have followed the player for some time but want clarity before making any concrete move.

The key issue revolves around Dumfries’ physical condition. The Liverpool hierarchy are seeking precise guarantees on his recovery timeline following ankle surgery, which has kept him sidelined for almost two months. 

From Anfield, the message is clear: Dumfries would need to be match-ready almost immediately for talks to progress. This requirement is considered essential before opening any potential negotiation.

Inter Milan evaluate scenarios and possible replacements for Dumfries

At Inter Milan, there is no urgency to sell. The club are financially stable and not forced into any outgoing deals. 

However, as often happens in the market, a significant offer could shift internal evaluations. This is why Giuseppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio are quietly working on alternative plans, staying prepared for every scenario.

Should Dumfries depart, Inter Milan would not replace him with a single like-for-like option. Instead, the idea would be to bring in two players with different characteristics, as confirmed to Fcinter1908.

The first name on the list is Brooke Norton-Cuffy, a powerful and dynamic wing-back whose physical profile closely resembles Dumfries’. 

The second option leads to Moussa Diaby, a more technical, quick and unpredictable player, capable of offering Cristian Chivu a wider range of tactical solutions.

Two different paths, both aligned with Inter Milan’s broader project. Liverpool continue to observe, Inter Milan wait. Much will depend on Dumfries’ recovery and the true intentions of the Reds.
