Despite rumours linking Inter defender Denzel Dumfries with Barcelona, ​​the latest reports from Spain point outë that the Catalan club has decided not to activate the Dutchman's release clause.

Dumfries has a €25m release clause that is valid for foreign clubs until mid-July, but according to Marca, Barcelona have no interest in using this opportunity.

Reports indicate that Barcelona are pleased with the performances of starter Jules Koundé, who was a key part of the club's successes in La Liga and the Copa del Rey.

Furthermore, coach Hansi Flick sees Héctor Fort as the future of the right-wing defense, while Eric Garcia, due to his flexibility, can also cover that position when necessary.

In addition, the Catalan club is still facing Financial Fair Play restrictions, and if they were to sign Dumfries, there is a risk that he would not be able to register as a player for the team - a situation that is not favorable for either party.
