Manchester United has rejected Inter Milan’s effort to sign Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Denzel Dumfries, a Dutch wing-back, has been offered by the Italian powerhouses in a shocking trade, but United is not interested.
Despite missing more than a month due to a hamstring injury, Wan-Bissaka, a 26-year-old right-back, has made 10 starts for Erik ten Hag this season and is regarded as an important player of the team.
Although his contract was set to expire at the conclusion of this season, United has now exercised an option to keep him at Old Trafford until 2025.
It still surprises me that Inter decided to make Dumfries, who has played eighteen times this season, an offer.
The 27-year-old Dumfries is still among Serie A’s top offensive right-backs, and he has given Filippo Inzagi’s squad numerous opportunities.
However, he still has a summer to leave the Nerazzurri before his contract with them expires in June 2025.
He and Inter are engaged in a contract standoff because he is seeking £80,000 per week but Inter is only willing to provide roughly £35,000.
With a game remaining, Inter, who must sell in order to abide by Financial Fair Play rules in Italy, is now one point behind Juventus.
United is currently 16 points behind leaders Liverpool in the Premier League standings, sitting in seventh place.
Since 2022, the Red Devils have been interested in Dumfries, who transferred from PSV to Inter in 2021 for a reported £12 million.
Ten Hag has been keeping an eye on the full-back for the past two years and is a well-known fan of his.
In 114 games, he has contributed 18 assists and nine goals for the Italian powerhouses.
