Just 25 million euros! Barcelona is interested in Denefri. The hero who led Inter Milan to defeat Barcelona in the Champions League.

After being eliminated in the 1/8 final of the Club World Cup, the internal turmoil within Inter Milan was exposed. The team was moving towards a younger lineup, and some of the veteran players were also considering leaving. 

Last season, when Inter Milan still had hopes of winning the treble, a veteran player pointed out that the main lineup of the team was too old. The schedule was tight, and the opponents played fast-paced football. When they intensified pressing, the team was not adapted. This statement was not wrong. 

During the Club World Cup, former Inter Milan star and young coach Zivio began to implement the strategy of promoting younger players. The 20-year-old young forward Pio Esposito got the chance and performed outstandingly. In the 1/8 final against Fluminense, if Pio Esposito had not been unable to play due to injury, the outcome might have been different. 

After being eliminated, the main midfielder of Inter Milan, Chalhouno, was reported to have actively shown interest in the Turkish Super League team Galatasaray. The relationship repair is no longer possible. Chalhouno also hopes that Inter Milan can lower the transfer fee, preferably to zero. After all, he himself was also transferred from AC Milan for free back in the day. 

Apart from Çahircan Ölçü, several key players are also on the verge of leaving the team. Some are indeed getting old, while others are still in their prime. After a season with no achievements, it's normal for players to leave. The key is to determine which ones don't need to stay and which ones must. 

According to "Diario Deportivo", Barcelona is interested in the Dutch defender Denefri who plays for Inter Milan. Flick has a strong liking for this player. 

Dunfries is 188 cm tall and is 29 years old. He is in his prime and plays as a defender. His defense is fierce and he has an extremely strong offensive ability. 

In August 2021, Inter Milan signed Durnfries from Eindhoven for 14.2 million euros. Before this, not many people knew the name of this Dutch defender. 

In the 2024-25 season, Dunferries played 47 matches for Inter Milan in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and providing 5 assists. Among them, he scored 7 goals in the Italian Serie A and made 2 assists. What does this mean? The AC Milan forward Leo only scored 1 more goal than him. 

In the 2024-25 season, Inter Milan suffered a 0:5 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. Had it not been for Denefris, Inter Milan would not have even made it to the final, and Paris Saint-Germain might not have been able to achieve their historic first Champions League victory. 

In the Champions League semi-final, Inter Milan's opponent was the strong favorite Barcelona. They played the first leg away, and the score was 3-3. This was a decent result. If they lost, Inter Milan would have no chance. In this game, Duffries scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist, making significant contributions. 

After being eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals by Inter Milan, Barcelona's head coach Flick informed the club that he was looking for a strong and fast full-back. 

Dunferries' release clause is set at 25 million euros and is valid until mid-July. In the past few months, Barcelona has shown interest in this Dutch player, but no formal offer or official contact has been made yet.
