Barcelona have started planning for the summer transfer window to strengthen the squad for the next campaign. The centre-forward position is the main priority, while the sporting department led by Deco also looks for opportunities in other areas. The right-back spot is under scrutiny due to questions about Jules Kounde’s performances and his future. Denzel Dumfries has again emerged as a target, with Inter Milan open to a permanent sale. Dumfries is willing to listen to offers, and his new representatives have met with Barcelona and Liverpool. Barcelona are expected to wait for possible departures, especially any transfer involving Kounde. Dumfries has a €25 million release clause active in July for one month.
"One such area happens to be the right-back slot, wherein there have been question marks over the performances and in turn the future of Jules Kounde. Denzel Dumfries on the agenda As such, FC Inter News (h/t SPORT) reports that Denzel Dumfries has once again emerged as a target for Barcelona. The powerful right-back could leave Inter Milan permanently this summer, and his representatives are already working to find him a place at one of Europe's top clubs."
"The Dutch international is open to listening to offers, and his new agents have already held meetings with both Liverpool and Barcelona, two clubs that had shown interest in him in the past. Ali Barat, Dumfries' new representative, met with Deco only a few days ago to inform him about the player's situation. However, Barcelona are not expected to make any immediate moves while they wait for potential departures from the current squad."
"Dumfries already understands that any move to Barcelona would depend heavily on a significant transfer involving Kounde. Barcelona are willing to listen to offers for the French defender and are waiting to see what develops over the coming weeks. Inside Barça, there is an awareness that the defender's situation could generate substantial movement during the summer window and that multiple scenarios remain possible."
"Dumfries has a release clause set at €25 million, which becomes active in July. However, the clause will only remain valid for one month, meaning that any club interested in the same would need to complete a deal during that specific period."
