Updates on Denzel Dumfries’ contract renewal talks stalling and Tajon Buchanan to Inter transfer rumors:

**Denzel Dumfries Contract Renewal Talks:**

> [GdS] At the moment, Denzel Dumfries is ‘far’ from renewing his contract with Inter. The club proposed an extension with a salary similar to Federico Dimarco’s new deal (€4M/yr and increasing slightly each year), but the entourage of Dumfries has asked for more than €5M/yr.
The parties will meet again in 2024 but if no agreement is found to renew, the defender will be sold in the summer of 2024.

> [Guarro] Inter offered Denzel Dumfries a new contract, but the offer was ‘far’ from what the midfielder expected. These difficulties have created tension between the two parties and talks for a new contract are not moving forward at the moment. It is possible that Dumfries will be on the market in the summer.

> [FcIN] The agents of Denzel Dumfries will be in Milan this week to meet with Inter managers and discuss the contract renewal. Currently, things are on stand-by. If the parties do not reach an agreement, Dumfries could be sold in the summer if a suitable offer arrives.

**Tajon Buchanan Transfer Rumors:**

> [Pedulla] Tajon Buchanan has been in Inter crosshairs for nearly a year, he is now the favourite to replace Juan Cuadrado and an investment for the future considering the uncertainty surrounding Denzel Dumfries. Inter is waiting for the green light from Suning to advance on a loan with the obligation to buy formula in January. Buchanan would cost €12-15M.

> [TS] Inter target Tajon Buchanan was benched for the last two games for his current club Brugge. The idea of the Inter board is to do a similar transfer operation to Robin Gosens, meaning a loan with obligation to buy once certain conditions are reached. Inter want to sign Tajon Buchanan in January to ‘cover the hole’ on the right wing. The club is also considering whether to reinforce the attack. Inter want to sign Tajon Buchanan on an initial loan with the obligation to buy, with the hope that the Canadian’s contract expiring in 2025 can be a helpful factor in the deal.

> [CdS] Tajon Buchanan is currently ahead of Tiago Djaló to replace Juan Cuadrado at Inter.

**Everything below here was reported 4+ days ago**

> [Sky Sport] Inter’s dream to replace Juan Cuadrado is Tajon Buchanan, but a deal is complicated. Evaluations are ongoing on other names as well to make the best choice.

> [Guarro] Inter is expected to be in contact with President Zhang in the next few days. The Cuadrado issue requires moving on the market in January and the management will point out that it would be appropriate to move for Tajon Buchanan.
Right now, the preference seems to sign a proper wingback in place of Cuadrado, and not Djaló while moving Darmian to right wingback for the remainder of the season.
In the next days, the club will understand if an economic sacrifice to sign Tajon Buchanan can be possible.

**More**

> [GdS] In the event of the likely departures of Juan Cuadrado, Davy Klaassen and Alexis Sánchez in the summer, Inter’s priorities for the market will be a right wingback (or two, if Denzel Dumfries is sold), a midfielder, a striker and the club must also begin to think about the goalkeeper situation from a future perspective.
