Richard Hughes wants bargain £22m deal for Dutch star as release clause comes to light Liverpool will get one more opportunity to complete an incredible bargain £22m deal this summer. The Reds made £450m worth of signings last summer but they are still searching for consistency in the squad. At right-back there have been difficulties all season long.

Conor Bradley has been out since January with a serious injury to his knee and isn’t expected back until next season. Jeremie Frimpong meanwhile is being regarded more as a forward than a defender. Joe Gomez has been deputising but is out of contract in 2027 while Arne Slot has even had to draft in midfielders at right-back such as Dominik Szoboszlai.

Although not a priority area - given that Bradley has to come back into the team - Liverpool have a chance to do a deal for a highly-accomplished right back / wing back this summer. Liverpool looking at £22m deal for Dumfries Inter Milan are desperate to tie down Denzel Dumfries to a new contract. The Dutchman is under contract at San Siro until 2028 - but the Nerazzurri are worried about the €25m (£22m) release clause in his current deal.

A renewal would mean removing that clause - and close the door on Premier League suitors. But Liverpool - along with Manchester City and Manchester United - should get a chance to compete for the 29-year-old this summer . “While Inter are making a renewal offer, worth around €5 million a year until 2029, with the release clause removed, several Premier League clubs are eyeing the player,” a report in L’Interista reads.
