Three months ago, Calciomercato reported Manchester United are in the front row to sign Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries in the summer window.
The Netherlands international has just over a year left on his contract and hasn’t yet signed a new deal at the San Siro.
Monday’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport brings Manchester United back into the fold when discussing the 28-year-old’s future.
The report focuses on players who could leave the Serie A side and Dumfries is included in this list.
If the two parties can’t find an agreement for renewal, Inter’s plan is to sell the right-back to the highest bidder. The contract negotiations are complex and the Nerazzurri are starting to believe he could be set for an exit in the next window.
Without a renewal, Gazzetta say the Italian club’s officials will ‘accelerate his departure’ for €25-30m, and Manchester United are the only option named in the report.
It’s claimed the Dutchman ‘would like’ to join Manchester United as has always rejected the idea of playing for a mid-level Premier League side. It’s to be noted the Red Devils are currently eighth in the table and will miss out on the Champions League next season.
Due to their poor campaign, Erik ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford remains uncertain. If the manager were to continue, Gazzetta explain Manchester United ‘could become concrete’ option for Dumfries.
