According to The Athletic, the right wing-back has no plans to discuss a new contract with Inter Milan until the transfer window closes. This development could benefit Manchester United, who may need to find a replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka if he leaves Old Trafford, with West Ham reportedly interested in him. The report suggests that Dumfries, 28, is determined to move on from Inter Milan and views the Red Devils as an appealing destination.
Manchester United is currently working on offloading Wan-Bissaka, having reached a preliminary agreement with West Ham for the 26-year-old defender. However, Wan-Bissaka has yet to finalize personal terms with Julen Lopetegui’s team and prefers a move to Inter Milan. This situation could potentially lead to a swap deal for Dumfries, though United’s priority is to sell Wan-Bissaka to West Ham and sign Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.
With Dumfries entering the final year of his contract with Inter Milan, the Serie A champions risk losing him for free next summer. For now, United’s main focus remains on Wan-Bissaka’s future. Mazraoui is their preferred replacement—Bayern Munich have already agreed to sell him—but a deal for Dumfries could be straightforward if Inter is willing to sell.
