Denzel Dumfries wants a move to Man Utd and a deal is possible if Erik ten Hag stays

Denzel Dumfries’ contract negotiations with Inter Milan have stalled and the right-back is keen to join Manchester United in the summer.

The 28-year-old joined Inter from PSV Eindhoven in 2021 and made 129 appearances in three years with the Nerazzurri, helping the club to back-to-back Coppa Italia titles, three successive Supercoppa Italiana titles and this year’s Serie A. A.

However, speculation has grown that Dumfries could be set for the exit door at the San Siro at the end of the season and United have been credited with a strong interest in the Netherlands international in recent months.

Reports in January suggested United had offered Dumfries in exchange for Aaron Wan-Bissaka – but the Red Devils were keen to keep hold of the latter at the time and the deal was rejected on the spot.

However, the Old Trafford giants remain keen on Dumfries and have been keeping a close eye on the Dutchman’s delicate contract situation from afar ahead of a potential bid in the summer transfer window.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there are still no signs of an agreement being reached between Dumfries and Inter over a renewal – with the defender reportedly demanding a €5m (£4.3m) salary to -extend your stay.

The report adds that Dumfries “would like” to complete a move to the Theater of Dreams and that could be a real possibility, especially if his compatriot Erik ten Hag manages to avoid the sack.

The former PSV star has always turned his nose up at the prospect of joining a mid-table Premier League side, but would jump at the chance to join United.

It is claimed that Inter expected an “explosion” from Dumfries when they signed him three years ago, but the defender has not lived up to expectations despite his contribution to their Serie A triumph this term.

Dumfries’ current contract with Simone Inzaghi’s side is due to expire in 2025.

Asked about his future last month, Dumfries insisted talks over a possible renewal at Inter are “going well”.

“I haven’t worked on it yet.” Because we are still working to win the Scudetto. Now the European Championships are approaching,’ he said.

“You never know how things are going to go. But the talks went well.

“The club is going through a certain moment, but I expect talks to resume soon.”
