Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries is currently out injured and last featured in Serie A in November. Despite that, Manchester City and Barcelona have been pushed forward as suitors for the Dutchman.
Sportmediaset report on the 29-year-old, with the Nerazzurri looking to sign Ivan Perisic this month.
Time is running out but the Croatian will come in as a replacement for Luis Henrique. Dumfries is still seen as an important player but that hasn’t stopped Manchester City from keeping an eye on his situation.
Barcelona also see the full-back as a target, despite the arrival of Joao Cancelo.
More is reported by L’Interista, who make the Italian giants’ stance about Dumfries clear. It is noted that Cristian Chivu’s side are a bit anxious about the talk around Manchester City.
This is because the Netherlands international changed his agents quite recently. This could be an attempt from the player to finally secure an exit from the San Siro, with his contract running out in 2028.
There’s hope given to Manchester City, with it stated Dumfries can leave Inter in the summer. There are question marks about his relationship with Inter, who would not be against his sale.
This time it’s Manchester City’s turn

This does feel like a classic attempt from those around Dumfries to create a buzz about the player. His previous entourage did the same, leading to links with Premier League clubs in every window.
Besides, the right-back isn’t the technical asset that Pep Guardiola wants his defenders to be. His strengths lie more in the final third and less in build-up. That makes it easy to question whether Manchester City really want him or not.
Dumfries being pushed towards the Premier League is now something of a transfer window tradition. This time it was Manchester City’s turn to be the English club chosen for the Dutchman.
