Report – Barcelona Yet To Send Offer For Inter Milan Wingback Despite Agent Efforts To Arrange Transfer
Barcelona will reportedly pass on the opportunity to sign Inter Milan wingback Denzel Dumfries despite Jorge Mendes' efforts. According to Fabrizio Romano via FCInter1908, the reigning La Liga champions have no interest in the Dutchman. Despite tearing them apart in the Champions League last season, Denzel Dumfries will not move to Camp Nou. Indeed, Hansi Flick holds Jules Kounde in high esteem and wants to tie him down to a new long-term deal. Barcelona Turn Down Chance to Sign Inter Milan Ace Denzel Dumfries Although Jorge Mendes hopes to take his client to Catalonia, his efforts will likely go in vain. Indeed, Flick views Kounde as his first-choice right-back and has no intention of replacing him. Furthermore, Barcelona will rely on Eric Garcia as the Frenchman's backup. Therefore, Inter can relax for now. However, Dumfries' €25 million release clause is valid until the end of June. It makes him an affordable target for many elite clubs in Europe.

Report – Super Agent Trying To Force Inter Milan & Dutch Wingback Transfer To Barcelona
Super agent Jorge Mendes is still trying to convince Barcelona to sign Inter Milan wingback Denzel Dumfries. According to Sportitalia via FCInterNews, the Catalan giants are reluctant to send any offer to the Nerazzurri. Barcelona reportedly plan to stick with Jules Kounde as a starter at right-back. Therefore, they've never truly considered launching a bid for Denzel Dumfries. However, Mendes is trying to change their mind. And he often gets what he wants. Jorge Mendes Offers Inter Milan Star Denzel Dumfries to Barcelona Dumfries €25 million release clause is valid until the end of July. In today's market, it's a bargain fee, especially for a player of his caliber. However, Barcelona have other priorities, which is why Mendes' whispers have fallen on their deaf ears. Unless some unexpected developments, Hansi Flick's side should stick with Kounde. As such, the San Siro club has no reason to panic yet. But Dumfries' exit clause could attract unwanted interest elsewhere. The Dutchman had a remarkable season, so the Italians are desperate to keep him next term.

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.

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.

Revealed: The message Barcelona sent Nico Williams that 'collapsed the £50m deal' and triggered his stunning U-turn
Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams was set to join Barcelona before a single text reportedly collapsed the £50million deal. The 22-year-old was one of Europe's hottest targets at the beginning of the summer transfer window and was coveted by Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Chelsea as well as the LaLiga champions. Barcelona appeared to have beaten off opposition to acquire the Euro 2024 winner, with sporting director Deco claiming the Spaniard has shown a 'strong desire' to move to the Nou Camp. President Joan Laporta admitted they were willing to pay his €58m (£50m) release clause, while Athletic Bilbao even compained to LaLiga about Barcelona's finances in an effort to spoil the deal. The winger appeared destined to join Hansi Flick's side and bolster a devastating attack that already includes Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandoski. But earlier this month Williams backtracked, signing a remarkable ten-year contract extension at his boyhood side. A simple WhatsApp message was behind the stunning u-turn, according to Spanish outlet Sport. The message which reportedly collapsed the deal saw Barcelona suggesting that Williams should sever ties with agent Felix Tainta in favour of Jorge Mendes or Pini Zahavi. Tainta has a strong relationship with the Williams family, including brother Inaki Williams, and the text is said to have sparked outrage, spelling an end to Barcelona's pursuit. After signing his decade long extension, Williams said there is nothing better than continuing to play at his boyhood side. 'I think we have a very long season ahead of us,' he said. 'We have very ambitious titles like the Champions League, which everyone would like to play in. What could be better than doing it with the club of my life? Sporting director Deco claimed that Nico Williams had shown a 'strong desire' to join Barcelona 'I would like to continue making history here at San Mamés, with the fans, with my family, and with a lot of enthusiasm.' He will continue playing alongside brother Iñaki Williams, who will captain Athletic next season. 'We've both always dreamed of this moment,' Williams said. 'My brother is a role model for everyone, especially for me. I think he's the best person to be captain, and I can't wait to see him wearing the armband for a long time.'
