Inter are tracking Roma wing-back Wesley as Denzel Dumfries recovers from ankle surgery — Roma may demand €30–35m. Betting angle: if the transfer progresses, punters might shorten Inter’s odds in defensive markets and consider backing Inter for clean sheets or Wesley to start and register an assist in upcoming fixtures while Dumfries is sidelined.
Inter target Roma wing-back Wesley amid Dumfries injury concerns
Inter are reportedly exploring a move for Roma wing-back Wesley as they plan for life without Denzel Dumfries. After failing to land Manu Koné in the summer, the club has turned its attention to a young Brazilian who already starts regularly at Serie A level and could slot into the right flank without a major drop in quality.
Why Wesley fits the bill
Wesley, born in 2002, combines youth with top-flight experience and is seen as someone who can replicate Dumfries’ influence on the right. His profile — low wages (around €2m per season) and existing Serie A minutes — fits Inter’s strategy of signing promising, cost-effective talent who can contribute immediately.
Transfer valuation and possible swap options
Roma are expected to set a high asking price, with negotiations unlikely to start below €30–35m. Inter could try to include Davide Frattesi as part of a deal; Frattesi is valued by Roma and might sweeten talks or reduce the cash outlay required.
Dumfries update increases urgency
Dumfries recently underwent ankle surgery in London, leaving his rehabilitation timeline uncertain. He described the procedure as successful and said it had been “a tough month full of emotions,” but that “the surgery went well and the worst is now behind me. I’m focused on recovery and will do everything I can to return to the pitch as soon as possible.” That uncertainty has pushed Inter to seek a credible short-term alternative.
Betting implications and what punters should consider
Dumfries’ absence and the potential arrival of Wesley could shift short-term betting markets. If Inter complete the signing, expect odds to tighten in defensive markets — backing Inter to keep clean sheets in upcoming home fixtures could be sensible. Markets to watch: Wesley to start, Wesley to provide an assist, and Inter’s outright or handicap lines in matches during Dumfries’ recovery period.
