FC Barcelona is actively pursuing Denzel Dumfries, Manchester United’s long-term objective. Since Erik ten Hag was manager, the Red Devils have kept tabs on Dumfries. After his impressive performance against Barcelona in the Champions League, former United captain Gary Neville has already pushed Ruben Amorim to sign the attacking wingback.
It’s interesting to note that if the Dutch defender is paid before the middle of July, he has a €30 million release clause. In addition, he just switched agents in anticipation of a possible summer transfer.
According to the Catalan newspaper Sport, United will have fierce competition from Spain if they hope to finalize a deal for Dumfries. “Barça are serious about signing Dumfries,” it is said. According to sources in Italy, Inter is already looking for a player to take their right-back spot.
According to reports, super-agent Jorge Mendes has already made an offer to the Blaugrana, and the Camp Nou decision-makers see the player’s modest release clause as a “market opportunity.” Dumfries’ transfer to Mendes’ agency is crucial to the agreement because the Portuguese are “pushing” for a move to Spain.
Dumfries fits Barcelona’s plan for the right-back position
Due to these considerations, as well as the fact that Fort is already on the team and that Eric Garcia and Ronald Araujo are viable backups, Barcelona will only look to sign a right-back if a truly exceptional and significant option becomes available.
Even if Dumfries meets all the requirements listed above, the club must first be able to pay the transfer price and register his contract before the Dutch international can don the Barça shirt for the upcoming campaign.
It’s important to keep in mind that Barcelona is still trying to get back to the 1:1 rule when it comes to salary spending and transfers, and there are still a number of unsolved issues with departing players.
However, Dumfries’ arrival would make great football sense and fit in well with the club’s obvious goal of only buying a right-back who represents a considerable upgrade, provided that the financial prerequisites are met.
