Barcelona are keen to sign Inter Milan wingback Denzel Dumfries this summer, but face a major hurdle in the form of FFP.
This according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, via FCInterNews.
The future of Denzel Dumfries has come up for some speculation in recent days.
Reportedly, the 29-year-old was not a fan of the harsh words from Inter captain Lautaro Martinez after Monday’s Club World Cup exit against Fluminense.
Therefore, Martinez may have inadvertently pushed his teammate out the exit door. He did, after all, implore “whoever wants to leave, leave.”
Barcelona Keen To Sign Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries – But Face FFP Hurdle
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are one of the main clubs interested in signing Dumfries.
Furthermore, the Dutchman has a release clause worth €25 million. That is active until the 15th of June.
Therefore, a deal for Dumfries would certainly not be tricky to negotiate, if it’s before that deadline. It would simply require offering €25 million.
However, Mundo Deportivo report, the risk of falling afoul of Financial Fair Play rules would mean that it would not be quite so straightforward for Barcelona.
The Blaugranas believe that Dumfries would be the right kind of fullback for them. However, they would need to find a way to sort their finances out to comply with FFP before moving for him.

If dumfries leaves we might as well go ahead and abandon using wingbacks.
Dimarco really isn’t a wingback. He would be more useful as a winger. Carlos could be a fullback behind him and they could be devastating overloading and overlapping.
I also don’t believe we have a proper replacement for dumfries.
Henrique is also more of a winger than a wingback and darmian is strictly a defender at this point.
