Boost For Liverpool As Inter Milan Line Up Replacement For Dutch Wing-Back Targeted By Premier League Giants | OneFootball

Liverpool have been given encouragement in their pursuit of Denzel Dumfries as Inter consider lining up a replacement in Brooke Norton-Cuffy.

The situation is gaining traction while the Dutch wing-back continues his recovery from ankle surgery.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Dumfries is intrigued by the possibility of a move to the Premier League and has recently held contacts with Liverpool.

The English club have enquired about a potential immediate transfer and requested updates on his physical condition.

Liverpool see Dumfries as a potential short-term replacement for Jeremie Frimpong, who suffered a suspected hamstring injury in the midweek rout over Qarabag.

A fee of around €25 million could be required to prise him away from Milan. While Dumfries is still focused on returning to full fitness, speculation over his long-term future continues to grow.

Inter, for their part, are not standing still.

The Nerazzurri have already identified Brooke Norton-Cuffy of Genoa as a possible successor on the right flank.

The initial plan was to move for the young English defender in the summer.

However, developments in the coming days could bring that timeline forward.

Much will depend on whether Liverpool decide to formalise their interest and whether Inter feel comfortable reshaping their squad mid-season.

For now, Dumfries’ future remains uncertain, but the groundwork for a potential change is quietly being laid.
