As per Corriere dello Sport, Dumfries has a €25m release clause in his current Inter contract, which could potentially lead to a Premier League move in the future.

“The Premier League is known for its intensity, while Serie A is known for its tactical ability” Dumfries added. “These are two different approaches to football. The Champions League, however, always offers exciting clashes.”
