Liverpool Transfer Watch: Fabrizio Romano Drops Denzel Dumfries Hint

Fabrizio Romano has once again placed Liverpool supporters on alert, with fresh comments suggesting a possible summer move for Denzel Dumfries, who has a £21.7m release clause in his contract.

Speaking on his Italian YouTube channel, Romano urged observers to “keep an eye on” developments involving the Inter Milan right back. Liverpool’s interest is not new, with contact made during the January window, although a deal failed to materialise due to differing conditions between the clubs.

Romano explained: “Denzel Dumfries is a hot topic for the summer, an issue that we need to keep monitoring. He has a release clause active in the summer, so that opens up the market potential. All the various opportunities are being explored for Dumfries. The release clause has a very limited timeframe.

“One team to keep an eye on Denzel Dumfries remains Liverpool. Liverpool already wanted him during the January transfer window. It wasn’t possible, partly because Dumfries was injured.

“Inter wouldn’t have agreed to a loan deal in January, which was perhaps the only reason why Liverpool could even consider that kind of move, but Inter immediately said no.

“Let’s see whether this summer Liverpool go back in for Dumfries. He’s certainly a player highly rated by the manager, Arne Slot. There’s a very good feeling there, but it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will choose Dumfries as their main priority target or not.”

Right back concerns shaping recruitment

Liverpool’s right back situation has required careful management this season. Injuries to Jeremie Frimpong and have disrupted continuity, forcing tactical adjustments under Arne Slot.
