In the return fixture at the San Siro, Dumfries set up another two goals as the Italians reached the final against PSG.<\/p>\n<h2>Denzel Dumfries On Inter Future<\/h2>\n<p>After Denzel Dumfries confirmed he was to stay at Inter, the right-back has confirmed it was always his intention to carry on at the San Siro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>For me, my goal was always clear: to stay at Inter. I\u2019m an Inter player and I know that the club\u2019s thoughts were the same<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>A lot of people have talked about me moving<\/em>,\u201d Dumfries continued. \u201c<em>But for me there were never any doubts. I\u2019m very happy at Inter. I want to stay here<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What Clubs Were Interested In Denzel Dumfries?<\/h2>\n<p>The Denzel Dumfries release clause expired in mid-July. Naturally, there were a host of Europe&#8217;s top clubs interested in the Inter defender.<\/p>\n<p>LaLiga champions Barcelona appeared close to luring Dumfries to Spain earlier this summer. The same applied to a whole host of Premier League sides.<\/p>\n<p>Those in question were Aston Villa, Chelsea, Newcastle, both Manchester sides as well as Newcastle. Nonetheless, none of the aforementioned sides met Dumfries release clause.<\/p>\n<h2>What Did Denzel Dumfries Say About Lautaro Martinez And Hakan Calhanoglu?<\/h2>\n<p>Although Denzel Dumfries future appears to be decided, the same couldn&#8217;t be said about midfield ace Hakan Calhanoglu earlier this window. It even caused a riff with star man Lautaro Martinez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>I was very calm about that situation. I know that we all worked hard to win. Both Calhanoglu and Lautaro are winners, so they\u2019re very competitive<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>But they straightened things out between themselves. And then they talked to the group<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Dumfries declared that: \u201c<em>We\u2019re the same as before: united and fired up. Last season we were a family. These things can happen<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Not winning titles isn\u2019t good enough for Inter. Now we\u2019re working to achieve our goals<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The post Denzel Dumfries Confirms He Always Wanted To &#8216;Stay At Inter&#8217; Amid Summer Interest appeared first on FootItalia.com.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.footitalia.com\/news\/denzel-dumfries-inter-serie-a-soccer?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=denzel-dumfries-inter-serie-a-soccer\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denzel Dumfries has announced that he always wanted to &#8216;stay at Inter&#8217; after a summer of uncertainty.\u00a0 Dumfries was one of the Nerazzurri&#8217;s unsung heroes last season after providing five goal contributions against Barcelona in the Champions League.
