Two days ago, reports emerged from Italy suggesting that Aston Villa is eyeing a move for Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries at a reduced cost. Monchi, the Villans’ director, has reportedly been facilitating discussions with Dumfries’ representatives, acting as a liaison between the parties involved.
Dumfries is currently under contract with Inter Milan until 2025, and Aston Villa is reportedly prepared to take the necessary steps to secure his signature during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Aston Villa’s right-back options in the previous season included Matty Cash and youngster Kaine Kesler-Hayden. However, it appears that Unai Emery’s side is eager to strengthen this position, with a particular focus on Dumfries from Inter Milan. Reports suggest that Aston Villa is poised to formalize an offer to persuade Simone Inzaghi and Inter to part ways with the Dutch fullback.
Despite Dumfries being valued by Inzaghi and considered an important asset due to his versatility in both defensive and attacking roles, Inter Milan may entertain offers for him if they are substantial. However, there is no indication yet regarding the specific amount Aston Villa is willing to offer for Dumfries or the fee required to convince Inter Milan to sell.
