According to the information, Denzel Dumfries is about to join Real Madrid for the amount of his clause (€20 million). Ronald Koeman confirmed that the player had undergone medical examinations. Inter is aiming for Marco Palestra to replace him, but Atalanta are asking for 50 million euros and face competition from the Premier League.
Denzel Dumfries is making great strides towards Real Madrid. According to the information relayed, the Dutch Inter winger has already passed the medical examinations for the Merengues — an operation confirmed by Ronald Koeman, coach of the Netherlands. “I gave him my permission, if there's anyone who deserves it, it's him. Even if I would have preferred to see him go to Barca,” Koeman explained.
The transfer should be made at the amount of Dumfries' clause: 20 million euros, a sum that the Madrilenes would be willing to pay to attach the services of the former PSV player. Since the gathering of the Dutch selection, Dumfries has avoided expanding on the subject but has slipped a few words on his time at Inter, which he says has brought him "a lot of pride". “I really can't say anything about it. Later, we'll see what happens
will pass, ”he said.
In the evening, Florentino Pérez officially announced the arrival of the player, stating that it was "together" with that of Mourinho, according to available information.

For its part, Inter has already targeted a potential successor: Marco Palestra. But the operation looks delicate. Atalanta warned the dirigenza nerazzurra that it would ask for 50 million euros to let go of its midfielder/winger, a tariff that seriously complicates the negotiations. The track also clashes with English competition: Newcastle and Manchester City would be attentive to Palestra's situation.
Inter's executive director, Giuseppe Marotta, is said to have already prepared the ground for the handover. Nevertheless, if a formation like the one trained by Enzo Maresca decided to enter the dance, it would be difficult for Inter to compete economically.
Finally, several options could be considered by the Nerazzurri to facilitate the agreement. Matteo Cocchi could be included in the transaction: the young player has recently changed agents, choosing the same representative as that of the player born in 2005 mentioned in the rumors, which could simplify some arrangements between clubs.
