Report – Inter Milan Put Interest In Hellas Verona Wingback On Hold For Now
Inter Milan have paused their pursuit of Hellas Verona wingback Jackson Tchatchoua to focus on other pressing matters. According to L'Arena via FCInterNews, Inter's interest in the Cameroonian has temporarily taken a back seat. Jackson Tchatchoua first emerged as a potential target for the Nerazzurri toward the end of last season. Indeed, the 23-year-old's impressive form at Verona recommended him to Inter amid Denzel Dumfries' uncertain future. However, they've pulled the plug on the transfer after signing Luis Henrique from Marseille. Inter Milan Place Interest in Jackson Tchatchoua On Hold Inter reportedly view Tchatchoua as a potential replacement for the Dutch wingback. Furthermore, Tchatchoua's €10 million price tag wouldn't be an issue for the San Siro club. However, everything depends on Dumfries. Super agent Jorge Mendes has offered the 29-year-old to Barcelona along with AC Milan star Rafael Leao. Moreover, Dumfries has a €25m release clause that's valid until the end of July. Therefore, his exit is a distinct possibility despite Inter's desire to keep him in Milan beyond the summer. If he completes his transfer to Camp Nou, Inter will probably rekindle interest in Tchatchoua.

Inter Milan chief speaks out on Barcelona's Denzel Dumfries interest
Inter Milan director Piero Ausilio has late this week spoken out on the recent speculation linking defensive star Denzel Dumfries with a move to La Liga champions Barcelona. The name of wing-back Dumfries has of course emerged as a prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya's capital over recent weeks. This comes 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 has been slashed to just €25 million for the month of July, making him something of a market opportunity. Speaking during an exchange with the media this weekend, the subject of the 29-year-old's Barcelona links was therefore put to the aforementioned Piero Ausilio. The Inter chief, though, went on to assure: 'We have not received any formal approach from Barça for Denzel Dumfries. There's a release clause, it's true… but it will expire soon and we will keep going'. Conor Laird – GSFN

Report – Barcelona Face Two Obstacles As Portuguese Super Agent Offers Blaugrana Superstar Inter Milan Wingback
Portuguese super agent Jorge Mendes has reportedly offered Inter Milan wingback Denzel Dumfries to Barcelona. According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Catalan outfit would gladly sign the Dutchman. However, there's a catch. Denzel Dumfries could leave Inter in the coming weeks, with Mendes working to find the 29-year-old a new club. Indeed, there's a €25 million release clause that's valid until the end of July. Therefore, time is a factor. Inter Milan Star Denzel Dumfries Offered to Barcelona Dumfries tore Barcelona apart in last season's Champions League semifinals. Indeed, he inspired Inter's remarkable 7-6 aggregate win with outstanding performances in both legs. In doing so, Dumfries caught Hansi Flick's eye. Now, Mendes is looking to capitalize on that and take his client to Camp Nou. While Barcelona wouldn't mind signing a player of Dumfries' quality on favorable terms, they remain cash-strapped. As a result, they cannot afford to meet the player's exit clause at once. Instead, they would need Inter to accept a structured payment plan, which doesn't look likely. Additionally, Barcelona must free up salary space to register new players under La Liga rules.

How Ter Stegen injury can open door to Dumfries Inter departure
Denzel Dumfries has been offered to Barcelona by agent Jorge Mendes, as reports from Spain claim that a fresh injury for German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is providing the Catalan giants with the financial wiggle-room needed to explore a deal. Dumfries has a €25 million release clause in his contract, active for foreign clubs until July 30, 2025. Therefore, there are still two weeks for any interested club to make an official bid for the Dutch right-back. Initially, Barcelona were reportedly uninterested and content with their squad amid financial constraints but a fresh injury in their squad changes the complexion of the market. Why ter Stegen injury changes things for Dumfries & Barcelona A new injury for ter Stegen once again sees the German reportedly set for four months out and a potential new operation, reports from Sport, via CalcioMercato, claim. La Liga's financial fair play regulations state that if a player is forced to miss four months or more through injury, the club can 'salary freeze' 80% of his wage – theoretically giving the Catalan side €5.2 million of the German's €6.5 million annual wage to register new players with. Dumfries is currently on a wage of €4 million at Inter and would therefore likely be within Barcelona's budget, should they pursue a move before the end of July.

Report – Jorge Mendes Offers Inter Milan & AC Milan Stars To Barcelona
Jorge Mendes has reportedly offered Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries and AC Milan's Rafael Leao to Barcelona. This according to Spanish transfer reporter David Ibanez, via FCInterNews. He reports that the two Serie A stars were the main names to come up in a recent meeting between Mendes and Barcelona. Barcelona recently held a meeting with super-agent Jorge Mendes. The Portuguese agent had been working on a contract extension for Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal. And, having secured their teenage star winger's future with a new deal, the Blaugranas also held some other transfer talks with Mendes. Mendes Offers Dumfries & Leao To Barcelona According to Spanish transfer reports David Ibanez, there were two names in particular that came up in the discussions between Barcelona and Mendes. Both from Serie A. One was that of Inter wingback Denzel Dumfries. Moreover, Dumfries reportedly has a release clause in his contract with Inter, active until the end of the month. And Barcelona do have an interest in signing a right-back. They have little depth in the position behind Jules Kounde. Therefore, Dumfries is one name that could be attractive to Barcelona. Another position that the Spanish champions are aiming to strengthen in this summer is on the left flank. And Mendes suggested the possibility of Barcelona signing another of his clients. Coincidentally, it was Rafael Leao, who plays for Inter's city rivals AC Milan.
