Barcelona miss out as transfer-linked star’s contract clause changes | OneFootball

La Liga champions Barcelona appear to have missed out on something of a market opportunity this summer.

This comes amid confirmation that the cut-price clause included in Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries’ contract has now expired.

The name of wing-back Dumfries of course emerged as a prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital over recent weeks.

This came after widespread reports were forthcoming, suggesting that Deco and co. were giving real consideration to a move for the Dutchman’s signing.

Dumfries’ Inter Milan release clause was slashed to just €25 million for July, making him, at the time, something of a market opportunity.

In the end, however, Barcelona opted against making use of as much.

And late this week, the cash-strapped Blaugrana’s chances of bringing Dumfries in have therefore been all but brought to an end.

As per market insider Fabrizio Romano:

‘€25m release clause into Denzel Dumfries’ contract at Inter has now officially expired.’
