Pep Guardiola’s Man City open talks for Barcelona-linked defender | OneFootball

The brass at Premier League giants Manchester City have opened negotiations for the signing of a player heavily linked with a move to Barcelona this week.

The player in question? Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries.

The name of wing-back Dumfries has of course emerged as a prominent one in Barcelona over the last couple of days.

This comes after a series of reports were forthcoming, suggesting that Deco and co. had earmarked the Dutch international as a potential market opportunity.

Dumfries is said to have been offered to Barca by super agent Jorge Mendes.

As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media over the last 24 hours is anything to go by, then it is another of the continent’s leading clubs who appear to have positioned themselves at the front of the queue for the 29-year-old.

As per a report from transfer insider Steve Kay:

‘Manchester City have opened talks with Inter for Denzel Dumfries and are assessing his interest in the move.’
