  /  autty

According to Calciomercato, super-agent Jorge Mendes offered the 29-year-old to Barcelona this summer with previous reports revealing he had a €25 million release clause in his Inter Milan contract.

Barcelona were understood to be keen on making the move but have since pulled out, instead prioritising a new contract for Kounde, 26.

Pep Guardiola is said to be keen on bringing the France international to the Premier League as he continues to search for a replacement for Kyle Walker.

Dumfries played a key role for Inter last season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists in his 47 games across all competitions as they reached the Champions League final.
