As the summer transfer window officially closed on August 30, top clubs have already begun strategizing for future acquisitions, particularly focusing on players whose contracts are set to expire at the end of the current season. This approach often provides opportunities to sign talented players on free transfers in the next season. Calciomercato report how Inter Milan, known for capitalizing on such opportunities with players like Calhanoglu, Thuram, and Zielinski, have set their its sights on Ajax’s promising defender, Devyne Rensch.
Devyne Rensch, born on January 18, 2003, in Lelystad, Netherlands, is a versatile right-back known for his speed and full-back capabilities. He joined Ajax’s youth academy at the age of 13 and quickly rose through the ranks, earning the prestigious Abdelhak Nouri Trophy as the best player in Ajax’s youth system during the 2019-20 season. Rensch made his Eredivisie debut in 2020 against Emmen, under the guidance of then-coach Erik Ten Hag, now at Manchester United. He scored his first goal at just 18 years and 62 days old, becoming one of the youngest players in Ajax’s history to achieve both a goal and an assist in a single match.
Rensch’s playing style is characterized by his offensive prowess and natural inclination to join the attack. Despite Ajax’s offensive tactics, Rensch stands out for his ability to contribute defensively and offensively, recording 12 goals and 14 assists in his professional career so far. His adaptability allows him to play as a right-back, center-back, or even on the left side, making him a valuable asset for any team.
Inter Milan’s scouts are closely monitoring Rensch, aware of potential changes in their defensive lineup. With players like Darmian possibly shifting roles and Dumfries potentially leaving despite a contract renewal, Rensch could be a strategic addition. His inclusion would bolster Inter’s defense and provide flexibility in tactical formations.
