The Long Wait Is Over – Inter Milan To Announce Netherlands Star’s Contract Extension Next Week | OneFootball

The long wait is over, as Inter Milan are finally set to make a contract extension for Denzel Dumfries official next week.

Today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, report that everything’s in place for the Dutchman to put pen to paper. The announcement will come during the international break at the latest.

At this stage, Dumfries’s contract saga has already dragged on longer than most had expected.

For the time being, the 28-year-old is under contract with Inter until the end of next June.

The Nerazzurri, of course, do not want to lose Dumfries on a free transfer at the end of the season.

For this reason, Inter have been working to try and extend the former PSV wingback’s contract for some while. The talks began seriously last winter.

Initially, it had seemed as though Dumfries would not be willing to accept Inter’s offer.

The Nerazzurri have long made it clear that they will not offer wages of more than €4 million net per season. Initially, Dumfries’s demands were higher than that.

Dumfries did not put pen to paper on a new contract during the summer.

Inter had reportedly been hoping to secure the 28-year-old’s future by the end of the transfer window, to avoid another Milan Skriniar situation.

And it is now a couple of months into the new season. And Dumfries still has not actually signed an extension.

Inter Milan To Announce New Denzel Dumfries Deal Next Week

According to Tuttosport, though, Inter and Dumfries will finally get to the finish line in the coming days.

The newspaper report that all the details have been agreed.

Therefore, a new contract for Dumfries is essentially just sitting there waiting to be signed.

The only question, now, is when precisely the 28-year-old will sign on the dotted line.

According to Tuttosport, Inter should officially announce it next week.

At the latest, the official announcement should arrive during the international break later this month.
