Agents of Liverpool target left 'discontent' after failed Anfield switch | OneFootball

Denzel Dumfries' agents are not happy that he didn't get his dream Liverpool move

Liverpool's defence has had a massive question mark hanging over it this season.

Trent Alexander-Arnold chose to exit Anfield at the start of the summer and, since then, Liverpool have tried to fill the void he left behind.

Indeed, Jeremie Frimpong was supposed to do that but because he's been injured so often, he's not managed to prove his worth.

That's why in January, Lutsharel Geertruida and Denzel Dumfries were both linked with a move.

Obviously, neither transfer ended up taking place with Slot just making do.

However, as per a fresh update from Calcio Mercato, it seems like Dumfries' agents aren't happy that his move to L4 failed.

"Has Dumfries changed agent again? Not at all. As we've been writing for some time now here on Calciomercato.it , the Inter full-back's true and only agent is his father, Boris," they wrote.

"He has been so since he broke up with Wasserman , with whom he also went to court. From that moment on, he took full control of his son's power of attorney, relying on various intermediaries to place him elsewhere.

"Or rather, to try to fulfill his Premier League 'dream' : from Jorge Mendes to Ali Barat 's Epic , with the latter trying to place him in England as early as last January.

"Specifically, at Liverpool , but ultimately unsuccessfully, and that's perhaps where Boris's discontent arose.

"It must be said that the Italian De Fanti , equally strong in England, has also been gravitating around the Nerazzurri number 2 for some time, and it's no longer a mystery. But let's repeat: the real agent is none other than Boris, the father."

Denzel Dumfries would be an interesting signing for Liverpool

Dumfries is basically the polar opposite of Liverpool's other transfer targets.

The right-back is a fairly one dimensional player and even though he has been used at centre-back, he's much better when used as a right-back.

He's also 30 years old which, now that Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are both leaving, would make him one of the oldest players in the squad.

Indeed, a sprinkle of experience is needed among every team and, since Dumfries has a release clause worth around £20 million, it's a signing that makes a lot of sense.
