Premier League
Manchester City has launched a definitive offensive to secure the services of Denzel Dumfries. With time running out, the English club is looking to complete the signing of the right-back from Inter Milan before the player's release clause expires, set at £21.5 million and valid only until July 15. Pep Guardiola wants to address the deficiency in that area of the field as soon as possible following Kyle Walker's departure and Rico Lewis' limited impact.
The need to reinforce the right flank is evident. During the last season, Guardiola even had to resort to Matheus Nunes in that position, an emergency solution that highlighted the team's need for a specialist. Dumfries, with his experience and physical power, represents an attractive option both for his performance and market price.
Manchester City push to sign Denzel Dumfries
The Dutch full-back, 29 years old, has played over 150 matches for Inter since his arrival in 2021 from PSV. He has been an influential player, with 22 goals and 26 assists, sharing starts with Matteo Darmian in a team that reclaimed the top spot in Serie A. Despite his contributions, his future at the Italian club is not assured, as several European clubs have shown interest in his situation.
For City, completing this deal before July 15 is a priority. Failure to trigger the clause before the deadline could complicate or increase the transfer fee. The upcoming days are expected to be crucial, and Guardiola aims to have Dumfries integrated into the pre-season soon to strengthen the defense for a new bid for all titles.
