No proposal for Denzel Dumfries; Barca focus on Jules Koundé's new deal
Barcelona are focused on Jules Koundé's new deal and feel he along with Eric Garcia can be a great option at Right-back for next season. Barcelona have been offered Denzel Dumfries whose release clause of €25 million is valid until July 31. Barcelona aren't making any contacts with Inter Milan for the right-back as they have prioritised Koundé's new deal.
Barcelona are currently focused on securing a new contract for Jules Koundé, viewing the French defender as a key part of their future plans. The club believes Koundé, alongside Eric Garcia, can form a reliable right-back pairing for the upcoming season, reducing the urgency to pursue reinforcements in that position.
Despite being offered Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries — who is available for €25 million until July 31 due to a release clause — the Catalan giants have shown no interest in opening talks. Instead, all efforts are being channelled towards finalising Koundé's extension, a move that underlines the club's trust in his versatility and long-term value.
Eric Garcia, who spent last season on loan at Girona, has also impressed the coaching staff, further strengthening Barcelona's belief that internal solutions can address their defensive needs. While Dumfries remains on the market, Barcelona are not expected to shift focus from their current plan.

Three Factors Suggest Atalanta Talisman Will Join Inter Milan Soon
Three main factors suggest that Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman will soon make the move to Inter Milan. Today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, identify the closeness in negotiations, the good relationship between Inter and Atalanta, and the player's strong desire for the move. This is likely to be the decisive day in Inter Milan's pursuit of Ademola Lookman. The Nerazzurri made their second offer for the Nigerian international earlier this week. They upped their bid from €40 million to €42 million plus €3 million in add-ons. Atalanta have not yet given Inter a formal response. But they will give the Nerazzurri their answer today. Three Factors Suggest Ademola Lookman Will Join Inter Milan MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 20: Ademola Lookman of.

(Photo by) It is possible that Atalanta could reject Inter's most recent offer. However, Tuttosport note, even then the distance between the Nerazzurri's bid and Atalanta's counteroffer would be no more than a couple million euros. Furthermore, the newspaper consider, the rapport between Inter and Atalanta is solid. Therefore, talks will hardly be difficult or acrimonious. Finally, Tuttosport note, the fact that Lookman only wants to join Inter and has been pushing his club on the move makes the transfer all the more likely.

Report – Inter Milan Want To Offload Argentina U21 Star After Just One Year
Inter Milan reportedly want to offload defender Tomas Palacios just one year after signing the young Argentine. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Defender Tomas Palacios joined the Nerazzurri last summer. They reportedly paid a fee of over €10 million to sign him. However, so far Palacios has not exactly become a fixture in the Nerazzurri team. The young defender received only a couple of brief run-outs off the bench for Inter last summer. Then in January, Tomas Palacios joined Monza on loan. Inter Milan Want To Sell Tomas Palacios After Just One Year MONZA, ITALY – MARCH 02: Nikola Vlasic of Torino is challenged by Tomas Palacios of Monza during the Serie A match between Monza and Torino at U-Power Stadium on March 02, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) The intention for Palacios's loan at Monza was clearly for the young defender to receive more playing time. And the Argentine did certainly feature more than he had for Inter. However, at the same time, it was a difficult environment for Palacios. The Brianzoli were in a spiral towards relegation, and so it was often more experienced defenders who started. In any event, Tomas Palacios is back at Inter this summer after the end of his loan at the U-Power Stadium. But the Gazzetta dello Sport report that Palacios won't be back at Inter for long. The Nerazzurri do not feel that the 22-year-old has met expectations. Therefore, they are ready to try and offload him permanently after just a year.

Barcelona leave Serie A star disappointed with transfer stance
The brass at La Liga champions Barcelona have this summer left Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries altogether disappointed. This comes after the Blaugrana opted against moving forward with a move for his signature. The name of wing-back Dumfries of course emerged as a prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya's capital over recent weeks. This came after widespread reports were forthcoming, suggesting that Deco and co. were giving real consideration to a move for the Dutchman's signing. Dumfries' Inter Milan release clause was slashed to just €25 million this month, making him something of a market opportunity. And if the latest word stemming from the media this week is anything to go by, then it would appear that the 29-year-old was more than keen on the prospect of a Camp Nou switch. As per a report from , citing Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport: 'The footballer's intention was to change scenery and his priority was to be able to sign for Barça.' It is also noted that the Barcelona hierarchy 'studied the move carefully', but were ultimately unable to put in place the financial requirements to strike a deal. Conor Laird – GSFN
