Inter Milan’s full-back, Denzel Dumfries, is making headlines as he appears set on a move away from the San Siro.
With just 12 months left on his current contract, Dumfries is reportedly not interested in negotiating a new deal until the summer transfer window closes.
The Dutchman has been linked with a potential transfer to Manchester United, a move that could be highly appealing for the 28-year-old.
Impressive Track Record at Inter
Since joining Inter from PSV for £10.7 million plus add-ons, Dumfries has been a key player for the Italian side.
Over the last three years, he has made 132 appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing 20 assists.
His contributions helped Inter secure the Serie A title last season, as well as back-to-back Coppa Italia victories in previous years.
Despite his success, Dumfries seems keen to explore new opportunities, with a move to the Premier League on the horizon.
Potential Swap Deal with Wan-Bissaka
One possible scenario for Dumfries’ move to Manchester United involves a swap deal with Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
West Ham currently has an agreement with United for Wan-Bissaka, but the player is reportedly interested in a switch to Inter Milan instead.
If Wan-Bissaka decides to join Inter, it could pave the way for Dumfries to head to Old Trafford.
United is also exploring other right-back options, including Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.
Mazraoui, who previously worked with United manager Erik ten Hag at Ajax, could be a preferred alternative if the Dumfries deal falls through.
United’s Ongoing Midfield Search
In addition to strengthening their defense, Manchester United is also keen on bolstering their midfield.
The club had initially targeted Manuel Ugarte but was unwilling to meet Paris Saint-Germain’s £51.4 million asking price.
With Ugarte seemingly off the table, United is now considering other midfield options such as Adrien Rabiot, Martin Zubimendi, Adam Wharton, and Sander Berge.
Berge, who was relegated with Burnley last season, is seen as a potential candidate, with Burnley reportedly open to selling the 26-year-old.
United’s Transfer Activity So Far
Manchester United has already made significant moves in the transfer market this summer.
They secured the signing of Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna for £36.5 million and Leny Yoro from Lille for £58 million.
These additions signal United’s intent to strengthen their squad as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The developments surrounding Denzel Dumfries and other transfer targets indicate that Manchester United is actively working to build a team capable of competing at the highest level.
Fans will be watching closely as the transfer window progresses, hoping for more exciting signings to bolster their squad.
