🔵🔴 Barcelona Monitor Dumfries Situation Amid €25M Release Clause Window
FC Barcelona have expressed interest in Inter Milan right-back Denzel Dumfries, though no formal offer or approach has been made as of yet. The Dutch international, currently representing the Netherlands at Euro 2024, is believed to be on the radar as Barça explore cost-effective reinforcements for their defensive flanks.
Sources close to the situation confirm that Dumfries has a €25 million release clause, but it is only valid until mid-July. After that, Inter are expected to demand a higher fee or potentially extend the player’s contract, which currently expires in June 2025.
Barcelona’s financial recovery — following recent confirmation that they can now operate under normal La Liga transfer rules — allows for such targeted moves. However, the club remains cautious with spending and is exploring various full-back options, particularly with João Cancelo’s loan expiring and no permanent deal secured.
Dumfries, 28, offers pace, strength, and attacking thrust down the right — traits that align with Hansi Flick’s tactical preferences. Still, a deal is only likely if other right-back options fall through or Inter are open to negotiating favorable terms.
🚨 Key Points:
- No formal approach yet from Barça
- €25M clause expires mid-July
- Dumfries remains one of several right-back targets
- Decision may depend on Cancelo, club’s wage structure, and outgoings
