Cristian Chivu’s charges are seemingly preparing for life after Denzel Dumfries.

Indeed, the Dutchman, currently sidelined with a long-term injury, faces an uncertain future at San Siro.

Despite his household status in Lombardy, the 29-year-old wingback could be on his way out at the end of the season.

With Dumfries expected to cut ties with Inter, the Nerazzurri have identified Marco Palestra as an ideal replacement.

However, Atalanta have slapped a prohibitive €40 million price tag on their prized asset, who’s enjoying a dream season at Cagliari.

Although Inter cannot afford such a significant figure, they could raise funds by offloading some fringe stars, including Frattesi.

Wanted by Juventus, Frattesi could leave the club in January, with Inter asking for €35 million to let him go.
