The Nico Williams Saga showed that Barcelona has money this summer to spend, despite their well -documented financial problems. The La Liga champions had already spent € 25 million to Joan Garcia and were willing to pay € 62 million for the winger before signing a new deal with Athletic Club. But despite this, those funds have not disappeared.
In addition to signing a new left wing player, Barcelona is planning to tackle their defensive options-especially the right. Jules Kounde is the undisputed starter, but back -ups can be improved in Eric Garcia and Hector Fort. And that is where Denzel Dumfries comes in the comparison.
Dumfries, who chased Barcelona during their Semi-Final League of Champions League for Inter last season, has a release clause of € 25 million and, according to reports, the Catalans consider whether they should activate this.
Barcelona's interest in Dumfries is concrete, but they don't have time to take a step to sign it. According to Sky Italia (via Sport), the release clause that the 29-year-old has only active until July 31, which means that there are only 23 days left until it is finished.
It is not expected that the sale of Dumfries is expected to consider the sale of his release clause of € 25 million, which means that Barcelona must make a decision quickly.
At this stage, Barcelona wants to sign Dumfries, but despite the fact that the money is available to pay his release clause, they will not punish a movement unless one of their defenders leaves. Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo are candidates, and if one of them would leave in the coming weeks, it would release a considerable part of the salary space that would make it more likely for Dutch International to be registered on arrival in Catalonia.
