Liverpool Linked Netherlands Star Back From Injury To ‘Rebalance’ Inter Milan Ahead Of Scudetto Run-In & Transfer Window | OneFootball

Denzel Dumfries is poised to reclaim his place in Inter Milan’s starting lineup against Atalanta on Saturday, 125 days after his last start, offering Cristian Chivu a timely boost as the Nerazzurri look to defend a seven-point lead with ten games remaining ahead of a crucial summer transfer window with Liverpool among the clubs linked with the Dutchman.

His absence has been felt acutely down the right flank, as noted by FCInterNews.

Memories of his heroic return from injury last season, when he powered Inter to the Champions League final with a string of dominant performances, make his comeback all the more welcome.

Against Atalanta, the hope is that his physicality and directness immediately rebalances the attack.

Indeed suggesting that it has leaned too heavily on the left side as of late.

The summer adds another layer of intrigue.

A €25 million release clause becomes active between July 1st and 15th for foreign clubs.

Dumfries has never hidden his desire to explore a move abroad.

Therefore, amid interest from Premier League side Liverpool, it could be the summer he finally gets his wish.

Inter are aware of the situation and are already assessing potential successors on the right flank.

Much will depend on Dumfries himself and how he performs across the run-in and at the World Cup with the Netherlands.

For now, the priority is the present, and his return is a significant one.
