According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Fiorentina defender Michael Kayode is one of Inter‘s primary targets to replace Denzel Dumfries, provided the Dutch wing-back doesn’t sign a contract extension.
Dumfries’ Inter contract runs out in June 2025 and talks over a new deal have been put on hold.
Gazzetta confirms the Netherlands international will leave in the summer if he fails to sign a contract extension and Fiorentina defender Kayode is among the primary targets on the Nerazzurri’s agenda.
Inter have scouted Kayode several times this season and are preparing for a meeting with the defender’s entourage.
The promising right-back has also emerged as a transfer target for Arsenal, but he recently signed a contract extension with the Tuscans until June 2028.
Kayode, who scored the winner for Italy U19 in last summer’s European Championship Final against Portugal, currently earns €400,000 per season. However, his salary will rise to €1m in the final year of his contract at the Stadio Franchi.
