Shock conditions: Dumfries only if “he” leaves!

Manchester City has moved a concrete step to strengthen its defense by presenting an offer from30 million eurosto Inter for the Dutch full -backDenzel Dumfries. Pep Guardiola, eager to add power and physicality on the bands, has identified the national countries of the Netherlands as an ideal reinforcement. But what looked like a linear negotiation took a completely unexpected turn.

Direct contact between the clubs

According to different sources, the sports director of the Citizens,Hugo Viana, contacted directlyGiuseppe Marotta, president of Inter, to accelerate the deal. The relationships between the two companies are excellent, and it was thought that the transfer could be closed quickly.

Inter, aware that the Dumfries contract will expire shortly, seemed willing to deal with. But the player’s direct intervention has completely changed the scenario.

Dumfries’ ultimatum: “Only if he goes away”

In a completely unexpected way,Denzel DumfriesHe declared to his representatives and the Inter managers:

“I will go to Manchester City only if they send awayhim.”

The identity of the person to whom he referred was not immediately revealed, but the request shook both the Environment of Inter and that of the City. It is rare that a transfer is conditioned not by economic or technical motivations, but by the presence of a single person.

Who is “him”?

The fans and the media are already trying to understand who the mysterious “he” can be. Some hypothesize that it may be another full -back already present in the city squad, perhaps someone with whom Dumfries has had personal frictions.

Among the circulated names there areJoão Cancelo, Kyle WalkereSergio Gómez, but so far there are no official confirmations of past tensions.

Guardiola’s dilemma

For Guardiola, this condition represents a delicate challenge. The Catalan technician gives great importance to the harmony of the group and will hardly accept impositions from a new arrival, however talented it can be.

However, it is known that Guardiola greatly appreciates the physical and tactical qualities of Dumfries, especially for her performance in the European cups.

Reactions from Milan

In Milan, the fans are divided. There are those who accuse Dumfries of arrogance and lack of respect, and who instead admires him for his decisive character and the desire not to compromise.

The Nerazzurri management remains available to sell the player, but is carefully monitoring the evolution of the situation.

And now?

The next few hours will be decisive. If the identity of the “unwelcome” player will come to light and the City decides to make room for Dumfries, the transfer could go through.

Otherwise, the Citizens could decide to abandon the operation so as not to compromise the internal balance of the team.

One thing is certain:Denzel Dumfries spoke clearly, and the whole world of football is listening to him.
