Liverpool Track Denzel Dumfries as Inter Plan New Deal to Remove Cut-Price Clause

Overview

• Liverpool are monitoring Denzel Dumfries, with multiple reports saying his Inter contract contains a short summer release clause of about €25m (£21m).
• Inter are preparing a new contract that would remove the clause and try to keep the 30-year-old, according to Italian reporting carried in the UK press.
• Liverpool held talks in January but nothing advanced because Inter refused a loan and Dumfries was injured, transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano said.
• A fresh report says Dumfries’ father, who represents him, was unhappy a hoped-for Liverpool move did not happen in January, highlighting the defender’s interest in England.
• Manchester United and Aston Villa are also watching, and the clause would allow any club to buy during its set window unless Inter finalize a renewal first.
