Report: Liverpool set to reignite interest in defender with £21m clause Liverpool weigh Dumfries move as release clause emerges Liverpool are exploring a move for Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries, with L’Interista reporting that the Netherlands international has a €25m release clause embedded in his contract. For a player previously described as “world-class”, the figure has inevitably caught attention at Anfield as the club prepares for a significant summer rebuild.

Despite heavy investment last summer, the campaign has been inconsistent, leaving the club battling for Champions League qualification. Reinforcement on the right side has become a priority, particularly with Mohamed Salah expected to depart. Contract clause creates opportunity in market Dumfries’ situation presents a rare opening.
Under contract until 2028, he included a €25m clause when signing his current deal in 2024, providing a clear pathway for interested clubs. Inter are now attempting to renegotiate, offering an extension designed to remove that clause. The timing is notable.
Dumfries has found himself in a reduced role under Christian Chivu this season, a shift from his previous status as a key contributor to Inter’s run to the Champions League final. That change has introduced uncertainty, both for player and club. Photo IMAGO Liverpool are understood to be monitoring developments closely.
