Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea 'all want Denzel Dumfries'

Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries is reportedly on the radar of three English giants in the shape of Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.

The 27-year-old's future has been the subject of speculation over the last 12 months, and he was strongly linked with a move away from Inter over the summer, but he ultimately remained at San Siro.

According to Calciomercato, Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea are all keen on the Netherlands international and could make a move during next summer's transfer window.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot are the two first-team right-backs at Old Trafford, and the latter signed a new contract with the Red Devils over the summer, with his deal now running until June 2028.

The club are also believed to be planning to trigger a 12-month extension in Wan-Bissaka's deal, with both players proving their worth to head coach Erik ten Hag.

Right-back is an area that Ten Hag has allegedly been looking to improve, though, and if either Wan-Bissaka or Dalot depart next summer, Dumfries could potentially arrive.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are said to want competition for Reece James at right-back during a period when the England international is being linked with Real Madrid.

Various reports have claimed that Los Blancos view James as the ideal long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal, with a move to the Spanish capital at some stage not ruled out.

Malo Gusto is also at Stamford Bridge, but Dumfries is a more experienced option, and he is believed to be admired by Blues head coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are said to be 'attentive to his situation', with the Reds potentially bringing in competition for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Dumfries has again been an important player for Inter during the 2023-24 campaign, making 12 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice and registering four assists in the process.

The Dutchman made the move to San Siro from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2021, and he has represented the Milan giants on 108 occasions, scoring nine goals and registering 18 assists.

Dumfries is also a 49-time Dutch international, and he represented his country at the 2022 World Cup.

The defender now has less than two years left to run on his contract with Inter, meaning that the Italian side would not be in a strong position to demand a high fee next summer.
