December 30-Sportitalia’s famous transfer reporter Gianluigi Longari revealed in his latest column: Chelsea will formally ask for Dunfries in the next few weeks, and Inter Milan’s price tag for the Dutch right-back is 60 million euros.
This article focuses on the economic situation of Inter, and now even local fans have accepted that Inter have to sell key players every year to balance their financial statements, and the situation this season is even more serious. even need to sell a player as early as January next year.
This is because Zhang Kangyang’s operation of injecting money into the club through loans has caused a more and more serious debt problem, which is a vicious circle with no room for manoeuvre. Coupled with the fact that the main sponsor DigitalBits is in arrears with sponsorship fees, Inter has been caught in a very serious financial crisis, and even the approval of the new stadium project will not immediately solve the problem. Perhaps the ultimate way out is to sell the club.
Considering the financial problems, there are no non-sale players at Inter. The club is like a luxury supermarket where everyone will be put on the shelves, so the most important thing is how to maximize economic benefits. The Shkrinya soap opera could not be repeated last summer, when Inter rejected an offer for a 50 million + bonus and the player may now be free to leave the team, an unbearable mistake from an economic point of view.
At present, the closest Inter player to be sold is Dunfries, and billionaires such as Chelsea boss Burley do not mind spending a lot of money in the transfer market to fill the gap in the squad, after James’s injury. It is not surprising that Chelsea asked for Dunfries in January.
According to the information available, Chelsea plan to make a concrete attempt in the coming weeks because they realize that Inter’s current financial situation is irresistible. In the summer of 2021, Inter signed Dunfries for 15 million euros, and now his value has risen to 60 million euros, which is a condition for Inter to sell him, but the price will not scare Chelsea.
