Barcelona Ignores Dutch National Team Defender’s Offer to Focus on Kounde’s Contract

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona has made the decision to ignore the opportunity to sign wing-back Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan — despite having a golden chance with an affordable release clause.

The release clause worth 25 million euros in the Netherlands national team player’s contract will be active until the end of July — but Barcelona prefers to focus on extending Jules Kounde’s contract.

Despite long-term interest in Dumfries and even receiving a direct offer from his agent, the Catalan giants have decided against entering any negotiations — a different situation from before when they were constrained by price issues.
