While awaiting the likely re-election of Florentino Pérez, Real Madrid is ready to finalize the deal for Denzel Dumfries, while Inter is speeding up the search for a replacement for the Dutch winger. At the top of the Nerazzurri’s list is Palestra, considered the absolute priority. Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the situation on his YouTube channel:
“At this moment, what is missing for Dumfries from a technical point of view is only to proceed with the Real Madrid elections, so we are waiting for the verdict that everyone in Madrid expects to go in the direction of Florentino Perez. José Mourinho, the coach, has already signed two weeks ago. For Dumfries, the final agreement arrived last night: it is a deal worth 20 million, Real Madrid will pay the clause to Inter, and Inter has already been directly informed by Dumfries‘ agents. The player is ready to undergo medical examinations, so as far as I know, everything will be done at Real Madrid as a precaution, medicals, contracts set up, and then as soon as the election verdict comes in, Florentino Perez will already be able to present himself with two or three important signings.
Regarding Palestra, Inter is in quite a hurry because first of all Dumfries is leaving, so it’s a technical matter of replacements, but above all because Inter has realized that in the Premier League, today maybe Palestra is a player who is liked, who is of interest, who is on the lists. Tomorrow he could become a priority, he could become one of the few right-backs on the market under certain conditions and who could be at Premier League level. Newcastle is ready to spend what Atalanta wants, that is, a minimum base of 50 million with bonuses, but clearly there is also the player. The player can dictate a path, can dictate a solution, but Atalanta clearly must be respected, because a year ago with Lookman they taught everyone that the player can also go public, but then it is Atalanta who decides how and when and to whom to sell their players. So, in short, the Palestra situation is definitely a priority for Inter. Inter starts at 40 million, which is not enough, but between counterparts and possible ways to reach an agreement, Inter hopes to get closer.”
