In a surprising turn of events, Manchester United has declined a swap deal proposal from Inter Milan involving Dutch wing-back Denzel Dumfries in exchange for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The Italian giants sought to secure the services of the 26-year-old right-back, offering Dumfries, who has made 18 appearances for Inter this season.

Wan-Bissaka, a key contributor with ten starts despite a recent hamstring issue, remains a valued member of United’s squad. The rejection comes as United activated an option to extend Wan-Bissaka’s contract until 2025, dispelling any potential move at the end of this season. Dumfries, known for his attacking prowess, is embroiled in a contract dispute with Inter, seeking higher wages than the club’s current offer.

Inter’s need to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations adds intrigue to their transfer activities, with Dumfries possibly departing in the summer. Meanwhile, United occupies seventh place in the Premier League, while Inter is in a tight race in Serie A, trailing Juventus by a single point with a game in hand.
