Manchester United are contemplating making a summer transfer window additions to their defensive line, and the appropriate candidates have already been selected at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are reportedly interested in Inter defender Denzel Dumfries, with Manchester United leading the pack to acquire the Dutchman, according to FC Inter News.

Additionally, it is stated that the Nerazzurri will assign a value of £43 million to the 27-year-old right-back. However, should other European clubs express interest in acquiring him, the asking price could increase to £47 million.

As discussions have stagnated regarding the player’s new contract, which is set to expire in the summer of 2025, it was previously reported that Inter would value Dumfries at a minimum of €20 million and would not object to his departure.

This season, Dumfries has appeared in 24 games for Inter, contributing to five assists and three goals.

Denzel Dumfries has been a subject of speculation for Manchester United for a considerable period of time. The Dutch international was even a target during the previous transfer window at Old Trafford.

Based on the most recent media reports, Manchester United appear to be the frontrunners to ultimately acquire the Inter Milan star during the summer transfer window.

Manchester United is prepared to acquire a star for £85.4 million and can negotiate lucrative compensation, according to reports.

Tutto Sport reports (via FC Inter News) that the Red Devils are considered frontrunners to acquire Dumfries from the Nerazzurri.

The Oranje defender, with whom the Serie A leaders have been unable to reach an agreement on a new contract, may depart San Siro in the summer.

According to reports, his present contract with Inter will expire the following year, and his market value is approximately £34 million (40 million euros).

The player’s value could increase to between 50 and 55 million euros, however, if an affluent Premier League club such as Manchester United were interested in acquiring him.

In addition to being a dependable defender, Dumfries contributes effectively in the attacking third.

The 27-year-old star has started 15 league games thus far this season and has assisted Inter Milan in maintaining 12 clean sheets.

Additionally, the former PSV Eindhoven player has contributed directly to seven goals (four assists and three goals). He played the entire 90 minutes last night as Inzaghi’s squad defeated Lecce 4-0 to increase their lead atop the table.

Should Manchester United ultimately secure the £34 million-priced acquisition of Denzel Dumfries, in your opinion?
