Cannavaro: Denzel Dumfries The One “Replaceable” Player At Inter Milan
Dumfries is also the one regular starter from last season whose future at Inter looks uncertain.

As of yet, the 28-year-old has yet to sign a contract extension with the Nerazzurri.

And by all accounts, Inter will look to cash in on Dumfries this summer if he does not extend his deal.

Asked if he thinks Inter can improve, former defender Cannavaro said that “It would be very hard to.”

“Maybe only Dumfries is replaceable,” he continued.

“But the real formula for success is different,” Cannavaro argued.

Both Dumfries and Matteo Darmian regularly started matches. It was the latter who more often got the nod in the most important matches, though.

Dumfries certainly made his impact, both as a starter and as a substitute.

However, there is a sense that fitness concerns held Dumfries back over the course of the season.

This was not just in terms of being outright injured. The Dutchman did miss a few weeks through injury on two occasions.

But even when he was available, Dumfries was not necessarily at his best compared to his first two seasons in a Nerazzurri shirt.
