Inter Weaving Their Way Through Deadlines and Exits | OneFootball

Inter got past the deadline to activate Marcus Thuram’s €85M release clause without any drama, while sorting out the future of Hakan Calhanoglu and Denzel Dumfries might take a whole month.

According to Sky, the Dutchman can be poached for €25M until July 31st, and not 15th as previously believed. The date is an exceptional for this summer because of the FIFA Club World Cup. Barcelona haven’t taken concrete steps to trigger it. They are happy with Jules Koundé at right-back and have registration-related issues. Manchester City are examining the situation, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Inter aren’t actively searching for a Dumfries replacement at the moment, while they are getting ready in case Calhanoglu departs. However, he’ll have to do it before the start of their pre-season retreat in late July. Otherwise, they’ll consider the case closed, and he’ll stay. They want €25/30M.

Instead, Yann Aurel Bisseck has a €120M release clause. He could depart for about €40M to foot the acquisition of Giovanni Leoni.

The Nerazzurri are on the verge of sending Valentin Carboni on loan to Genoa. They are gauging the interest in Mehdi Taremi. Should he leave, they’ll target a pacey no.10. They have been offered Marco Asensio, who can leave PSG for €12M since he’s a fringe part of their rotation.

Our Take on Inter, Dumfries, and Calhanoglu

It’ll be a tense month, although there isn’t much in motion regarding the departure of the former. It’ll be a war of attrition for the Turk, as they need a sizeable cheque to utilize on his replacement. They would have probably acted differently early in the summer had they known the situation was dire, which might suggest that it isn’t.
