Arsenal Transfer News: Despite interest from Manchester United, Arsenal has entered the competition to sign fullback Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan
Arsenal Transfer News: Fichajes claims that Arsenal is interested in acquiring Denzel Dumfries this summer. Due to their financial difficulties, Inter Milan is looking to sell the Dutch fullback.
To do a financial audit, the Italian squad has to raise almost €60 million. They can certainly benefit from the sale of Dumfries. Inter Milan may gain a lot of money by letting go of their 26-year-old fullback. He has been a huge help to the club over the previous few seasons.
The summer of 2021 saw Denzel Dumfries make the move from PSV Eindhoven to Inter Milan. Ever since he first showed up at the club, he’s been nothing short of spectacular. His current deal with the team will expire in 2025. Even though he still has a few years left on his contract, Inter will be able to get a substantial sum if they sell him off next year.
The Dutch defender has played in 71 games for the Italian club and has contributed to 17 goals. He has played in 26 games so far this season, contributing to 5 goals.

Arsenal Transfer News: What’s the matter?
The two English clubs, Manchester United and Arsenal, are competing to sign the Dutch star. Mikel Arteta wants to assemble a championship-calibre squad capable of contending for any trophy in the league. He thinks Dumfries is the key to fixing his problems at right back.
Even though he’s more comfortable on the wing, he can also shine as a fullback if needed. With him in the fold, Arsenal will be able to take more risks down the right flank. As a right-sided cutter, Bukayo Saka appreciates it when his fullback makes overlapping runs.

What’s next for Denzel Dumfries?
The recruitment of the Dutch player will not be simple, however, due to the interest of Manchester United, a major competitor. The right-back position has been problematic for Erik ten Hag. The manager for United is unhappy with both Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Therefore, he hopes to sign Dumfries this summer at Old Trafford. This transfer battle between two Premier League heavyweights promises to be exciting to see unfold.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, negotiations between United and Dumfries’ agents are heating up as the club looks to replace Diogo Dalot this summer. With more than two years remaining on his contract, Inter allegedly expects bids for the right back at the conclusion of the season and will want at least €50m (£44million). If Bayern Munich decide to make Joao Cancelo’s loan from Manchester City permanent, the Italians will want a one-time payment in order to pursue a transfer of fullback Noussair Mazraoui.
