Denzel Dumfries has become one of the most talked about names in relation to a possible signing for FC Barcelona. The 29-year-old Dutch international has interesting sporting conditions to reinforce the right side, in addition to being economically viable.
📌 DENZEL DUMFRIES CHARACTERISTICS
- Experienced winger.
- Versatile (can play as right back or winger).
- Physically very strong and fast.
- Capable of 'eating up' the wing with long runs.
The '2' has a termination clause of 25 million euros, valid until July 31. This would allow him to be taken out of Inter Milan at a more affordable price than his real market value.
Flick values Dumfries, but Barça remains on the sidelines
However, although at first it was commented that the Blaugrana team could make a move for him this summer - being a player to the liking of Hansi Flick - the reality gives the impression of being totally different. This was reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who assured that the Catalan team does not plan to make any move in this summer market for Dumfries.
The cited source maintains that Barcelona has not resumed the Dumfries case since June. In this sense, the club's plan with respect to the right back is focused on exalting the role of Jules Koundé as a starting player and untouchable in the sports planning. In turn, it is contemplated to cover the position with Héctor Fort or even with Eric García, so a departure to the market in search of a full-back will not be forced.
From the Blaugrana sports management, the planning regarding the incorporations for this 2025/26 market seems to be covered with the arrival of two strategic players: one of the best young goalkeepers on the international scene, Joan García, and a pure left winger to give depth to the offensive front, Marcus Rashford.
The signings will depend on the departures in the summer market
From there, any incorporation that Barcelona considers will be subject to the departures that it can specify in the remainder of the summer market. The objective is to oxygenate a culé payroll that, in principle, seems to have an overbooking of names in several sectors of the field: in the goal with four goalkeepers, in the defense with five center backs and in the midfield area with up to eight midfielders.
