Inter Milan is targeting the Canadian supercar in the winter window, Dumfries is afraid of becoming an abandoned child, and Inter's right side has always been a weakness of the team, especially in the right-back position, Inter Milan lack a stable option.
At the moment, Inter's right-back mainly consists of Dumfries and Darmian, but both have different problems.
Despite his excellent physicality and attacking ability, Dumfries has made frequent defensive mistakes and with his contract expiring in 2025, there has been no progress in contract extension talks with Inter.
Darmian is a veteran with a lot of experience and defensive prowess, but he lacks speed and explosiveness, and he has only a year and a half left on his contract.
Therefore, Inter Milan urgently needs to bring in a young and promising right-back during the winter window to improve the strength and depth of the team.
According to Italian media reports, Inter have already secured a target, and that is Canadian international Buchanan from Club Brugge.
Buchanan is a speedy wide player who can play in a number of positions, including winger, wing-back, wing-back and full-back.
His speed and explosiveness are comparable to Bayern's Alphonso Davies, and he is known as the "Canadian supercar".
Buchanan is only 24 years old and has already proven his ability in Club Brugge and the Canadian national team.
He made 67 appearances for Club Brugge, scoring five goals and providing 12 assists, and 35 appearances for Canada, scoring four goals and providing seven assists.
His attacking ability is stronger than his defensive ability, and he is adept at using his speed to break through opponents' defences and create a threat to opponents.
Inter have reached a personal agreement with Buchanan, offering him a long-term contract until 2028.
Inter Milan want to sign Buchanan on loan plus buyout for a fee of around €10 million to €12 million, while Buchanan's current market value is only €8 million.
Negotiations between Inter and Club Brugge are underway and the deal will be settled as soon as the two sides agree on a transfer fee.
Inter are confident of signing Buchanan, who they believe is a player with great potential who can develop into a top-class right-back in Inter's star-making factory.
If Inter succeed in signing Buchanan, then Dumfries' future will be even more uncertain.
Dumfries' contract extension talks with Inter have been at an impasse, with both sides disagreeing on salary and length of contract.
Dumfries' agent has said that Dumfries wants a contract comparable to Inter's top-paid player, while Inter think Dumfries is too demanding and unwilling to accommodate him.
Dumfries is in the final year of his contract next summer, and if Inter fail to renew his contract, then there is a risk that he could be sold in the winter window or next summer so as not to let him leave for free.
Inter suffered a big loss in the transfer of Schick before, Schick refused to renew his contract with Inter, and finally joined Paris Saint-Germain for free after the contract expired, which cost Inter a huge transfer fee.
Inter's other right-back, Darmian, is expected to renew his contract.
Darmian is a seasoned veteran who has been consistent at Inter and while he lacks speed and explosiveness, his defensive ability and experience can be trusted.
Darmian's contract expires in 2026 and Inter want to extend his contract for another year to keep him in the team and provide security for the team.
Darmian is also open to renewing his contract with Inter, saying that he enjoys his life at Inter and is willing to continue playing for the team.
Inter's right wing issues are expected to be resolved in the winter window, and if Inter can sign Buchanan, renew Darmian's contract and sell Dumfries, then Inter's right wing-back position will be even stronger and deeper.
The addition of Buchanan will bring new vitality and threat to Inter's right flank, and his speed and explosiveness will be a great weapon for Inter.
Darmian's stay will bring stability and experience to Inter's right flank, and his defence and crosses will be a big guarantee for Inter.
Dumfries' departure will bring Inter a significant transfer fee, giving Inter more money to strengthen other positions.
Inter's right flank will be undergoing a major change, which will help Inter to play better in all competitions in the second half of the season and strive for more honours.
Inter lock in Canadian winger in winter window Interchanan will join Inter Milan on loan + mandatory buyout The winter transfer window ushered in an important signing, they signed Canadian international Buchanan from Belgian side Club Brugge, the 23-year-old wide all-rounder will join the Nerazzurri on loan and strengthen the buyout, adding new energy and competition to the right side of the team.
According to a number of media outlets such as Milan Sport and Sky Sports, Inter and Club Brugge have reached an agreement on the transfer of Buchanan, Inter will first be on loan for a year and a half, and then a mandatory buyout for 8 million euros in the summer of 2025, the deal is only subject to the approval of Inter President Zhang Kangyang, and is expected to be officially announced this week.
Buchanan has also reached a personal deal with Inter Milan, with whom he will sign a four-and-a-half-year contract with an annual salary of 1.5 million euros.
Buchanan is a wide player with excellent physical and technical ability, he can play in a variety of positions such as right-back, right winger and right wing-back, his speed, penetration and crossing, as well as his defensive awareness and fighting ability, he is considered the future star of Canadian football and a favorite of Inter coach Inzaghi.
Inter brought in Buchanan for two reasons, one is to make up for Cuadrado's injury missing, the Colombia international underwent Achilles tendon surgery earlier this month and needs to be out for at least four months, which has left Inter's right side of the line porous, Buchanan's arrival will provide Inter with more options and changes, he can play with Dumfries, Darmien and Dimarco compete for the right-back position, but can also play as a right winger or right midfielder, and his arrival will make Inter's right side more flexible and versatile.
The second is to invest in the future, Buchanan is a young player with potential, his value still has a lot of room to rise, Inter bought him out for 8 million euros is a good deal, even if he can't prove himself at Inter, Inter can sell him at a higher price in the future, Inter also has his repurchase right, which means that Inter can buy him back at a lower price in the future, this is a low-risk and high-reward deal.
Buchanan's arrival has also been welcomed by Inter fans, who believe that he is a player with quality and potential who can bring new energy and competition to Inter, and they expect him to show his talent at Inter and fight for the team's glory and goals.
Buchanan also expressed his excitement and honor to join Inter, he said that he is very happy to join such a great team, he hopes to adapt to the team and the league as soon as possible, contribute to the team, he thanked Inter for their trust and value in him, he will try to prove his worth, he also thanked Brugge for his training and support, he said that he will never forget the good time spent in Brugge, he wished Brugge all the best in the future.
Inter's recruitment in the winter window is not over, they are also looking to bring in a midfielder to enhance the depth and quality of the team's midfield, it is reported that they are targeting French player Camavinga, who currently plays for Nice, he is a midfielder with excellent physical and technical ability, he can play in any position in midfield, he is considered the future star of French football, and Inter coach Inzaghi's favorite.
Inter hope to bring in Camavinga in the form of a loan and a buyout, his total transfer price is around 20 million euros, Inter and Nice have been in contact about the deal, and it is expected to be agreed before the end of this month, Camavinga has also reached a personal agreement with Inter, he will sign a four-and-a-half-year contract with Inter Milan with an annual salary of 2 million euros.
Inter's recruitment in the winter window shows their ambition and determination, they hope to maintain their league lead this season, successfully defend the Serie A title, they also hope to make a difference in the Champions League, they also hope to lay a solid foundation for future development, and they believe that under Inzaghi's leadership, Inter will usher in an even more glorious era.
