Manchester City are wasting no time this summer.
With Kyle Walker moving to Burnley, Pep Guardiola knows that replacing the experienced full-back is a top priority.
Speed, strength, and attacking power—these are the qualities the new defender must bring.
Barcelona had the same player in mind not long ago. But tight finances have made things difficult at Camp Nou.
The Catalan side have not been able to make a real move, and that has opened the door wide for City.
The Premier League champions are already in contact with the player’s current club.
Talks have started. Their goal is simple: bring in a new name who can dominate the right flank, just like Walker did.
This target is no rising star. He is already known in Europe. His displays in the Champions League were outstanding.
In big games, he usually shows up with goals and assists, proving he can deliver on the biggest stage.
Barcelona may still keep an eye on things, but for now, they have other priorities.
That leaves Manchester City in pole position. They have the money. They have the need. And they have the green light.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Manchester City are now pushing to sign Denzel Dumfries, the Dutch full-back from Inter Milan.
The 29-year-old has a release clause of €25 million, valid until July 15. It is a bargain for a player with his experience and quality.
Unless something unexpected happens, Denzel Dumfries to Manchester City deal looks set to be completed with the next weeks.
A new chapter is starting at the Etihad after a trophyless season last year after a long time.
And Denzel Dumfries might just be the next key name in Guardiola’s back line.
After all, with Dumfries, it is unlikely that the Citizens will miss Kyle Walker much.
