Inter’s Dumfries Has Ankle Surgery as Milan’s Gimenez Schedules Operation, Prompting January Moves

The twin ankle procedures have accelerated winter recruitment, with Inter weighing right‑side cover and Milan pursuing a short‑term striker solution.

Overview

  • Inter confirmed Denzel Dumfries underwent left‑ankle stabilization at London’s Fortius Clinic, with recovery estimated at roughly 2–3 months.
  • Dumfries posted that the operation went well; reporting also notes a switch to agent Ali Barat and a €25 million foreign‑only clause that could shape summer decisions.
  • Inter are assessing January options at right wing‑back, with Brooke Norton‑Cuffy, Moris Valincic and Idrissa Touré cited in reports, while a move for Marco Palestra is considered more complex.
  • Milan’s Santiago Gimenez is undergoing a right‑ankle procedure described as a bone cleaning that spares cartilage and ligaments, with an expected absence of about two months.
  • Reports say Milan have advanced talks for Niclas Füllkrug, sending West Ham a loan offer with a right‑to‑buy and targeting completion by late December, though earliest match eligibility would slip into the new year.
