Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a €25 million move for Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries to shore up their right-back position, which has been a persistent headache this season.
Since Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure last summer, the Reds have struggled to find consistency on the right flank. Conor Bradley's season-ending injury and Jeremie Frimpong's underwhelming debut campaign have only added to the instability, forcing manager Arne Slot to get creative. Midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones have both been deployed at right-back in recent weeks, highlighting the urgency for a specialist.
Enter Dumfries, the 30-year-old Dutch international who has been a mainstay at Inter Milan over the past five seasons. With 205 appearances, two Serie A titles, and two Champions League final runs under his belt, he brings a wealth of experience and a proven winning mentality. His power, pace, and attacking output—27 goals from right-back—make him an intriguing option, even if his age deviates from Liverpool's typical recruitment strategy.
The reported €25 million release clause in his Inter contract makes this a potentially affordable deal, though an ankle issue has disrupted his current campaign. As Inter looks to raise funds for a rebuild, Dumfries could be allowed to move on, giving Liverpool a chance to add much-needed depth and versatility to their defense.
For a team chasing silverware, adding a seasoned international with Dumfries' pedigree could be the stabilizing force Liverpool needs on the right side.
