According to Sportitalia, the defender’s clause will increase from €20m to €30m in the first two weeks of July, which means it is currently active for clubs interested in the defender.

Barcelona seem to be among the possible suitors as Gazzetta claims that Dumfries’ new agent, Jorge Mendes, has created the conditions for a potential move to Catalunya this summer.

Mendes has recently held talks with the Catalans who want to get a reinforcement for the right-back position this summer.

However, the defending La Liga champions are aware that they must move quickly if they want to sign Dumfries as the defender’s release clause expires on July 15.

Inter have already signed a new right winger, Luis Henrique, in a €25m deal from Marseille this summer, and according to Gazzetta, the Nerazzurri will look to Bologna’s Dan Ndoye if Dumfries leaves.
