Barcelona must hurry to snap up €25m Denzel Dumfries before release clause expires as Inter full-back prepares to switch agent in possible hint at summer move

<p>According to <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Calciomercato/Inter/04-07-2025/calciomercato-inter-su-dumfries-c-e-il-barcellona-club-in-attesa.shtml?refresh_ce" target="_blank"><em>Gazzetta dello Sport</em></a>, the 29-year-old has a release clause of €25 million (£21m/$30m) that is valid until July 15 for foreign clubs. The player is also on the verge of changing his agent from the Wesserman agency to Jorge Mendes, which further incentivises the Catalan club to make a move for the Dutchman.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Barcelona have been looking for someone with a similar profile to Dumfries. The Dutchman has shown his powerful physique and strong mentality against the Spanish side in last season's Champions League, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/inter-player-ratings-vs-barcelona-denzel-dumfries-lamine-yamal-champions-league-semi-final/bltb25b1cc1d086006b" target="_blank">where he scored two goals in the latter half of the game</a>. However, with ongoing financial issues and Inter wanting the fee in a single payment, it will be tough for the Catalan club to negotiate.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Inter hope that Dumfries stays but have highlighted Dan Ndoye as a possible replacement, though Bologna are demanding €45m (£39m/$53m) in him, while Napoli are interested, too.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>The Champions League finalists will hope Barca do not trigger the clause in Dumfries' contract as they prepare to bolster the squad. They are looking to sell Hakan Calhanoglu to Galatasaray and are reportedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/inter-target-eur30m-palmeiras-richard-rios-nicolas-otamendi-can-t-even-run-anymore-impressive-club-world-cup/blt9cf1ee93804c47a4" target="_blank">lining up a bid for Palmeiras' Richard Rios</a>.</p>
