(Football news) The Netherlands, vying for continental supremacy, were in Germany for the initial portion of the summer playing at Euro 2024, where right-back Dumfries played.
Establishing himself as manager Ronald Koeman’s first-choice defense, the 28-year-old started five of his team’s six tournament games.
The Netherlands lost to England in the semifinals of the competition, although Dumfries did everything in his power to lead his team to victory in Euro 24.
With only 19 of his 31 league appearances coming from the start of games in 2023–24, the Dutchman was not always a top choice in the Inter Milan squad in Serie A.
Man United plotting Dumfries swap deal?
As it stands Inter Milan’s Dumfries could become the second Dutchman to join Manchester United this summer following the arrival of Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna.
The report claims that the two clubs have commenced talks over a possible swap deal involving Dumfries and current Red Devil Wan-Bissaka this summer.
It is understood that the former England international favours a move to the Italian giants, opposed to remaining in the Premier League ecosystem.
This has supposedly led to Wan-Bissaka snubbing a move to West Ham United, who are looking to enter a new era of success under Julen Lopetegui.
Dumfries has only ever played club football in the Netherlands and Italy, so it remains to be seen whether he would be willing to complete a high-profile switch to England.
What other right-backs have Man United targeted?
With Wan-Bissaka having just a single year left on his current deal at Old Trafford, Man United are planning for an immediate future without the former Crystal Palace man.
It has been reported that Erik ten Hag’s side were chasing a move for Noussair Mazraoui, who is currently on the books of German giants Bayern Munich.
However, with West Ham pushing hard for the signature of the Moroccan, it is understood that the Red Devils are set to miss out on the 26-year-old.
It is claimed that Bayern and the Hammers have an agreement in place over the transfer, however the switch to the London Stadium for Mazraoui has not been completed just yet.
