Manchester United are weighing up a move for Denzel Dumfries - which could see Aaron Wan-Bissaka head the other way to Inter Milan.
The Red Devils have already added two new faces this summer and are considering a swoop for the wing-back, who has long been linked with a switch to Old Trafford. Dumfries and Wan-Bissaka both have their deals running out in 12 months' time.
United have been looking to get the former Crystal Palace man off their books with West Ham among those interested. If Erik ten Hag is to offload Wan-Bissaka then he'll have to take a huge financial hit, but a swap deal could yet suit both the Red Devils and Inter.
According to The Athletic, intermediaries have proposed the potential deal, although talks are not at an advanced stage. Dumfries' Dutch connection with Ten Hag has been a factor in the proposed switch.
Dumfries though is coming off a disappointing season, where he started only 19 times in Serie A as manager Simone Inzaghi made his disappointment clear with the former PSV star.
He said: “Dumfries did very well last year until December, then he had a problem and the last few months were not up to his standards, but at the European Championships we saw the usual Dumfries.”
One man who has previously had good things to say about is Rio Ferdinand. The ex-United defender has already been influential in getting Leny Yoro to make the move from Lille to Manchester - rejecting Real Madrid in the process - and would likely approve of landing Dumfries.
He said about the Dutchman: "They're the outlet that get beyond, and he's a player you look at and think that he's athletic, can beat people one-on-one. It's not just about being there, it's the quality. He's not putting balls in willy-nilly, he's picking people out, those cutbacks have been ever so dangerous. He doesn't mind working at the other end of the pitch, as well. He's been a breath of fresh air for them and a very important player."
United have something of an issue down the flanks defensively. On the left Tyrell Malacia has been sidelined for months whilst Luke Shaw only returned from his injury issues at the Euros. Wan-Bissaka's future remains unclear with Diogo Dalot now the first choice right-back.
