Dumfries’ representatives have supposedly flown to England to hold talks with those interested, claim Gazzetta dello Sport.

Inter have set a price tag of £44million, although reports suggest a £35million bid could be enough.

Dumfries has featured 23 times for Inter this season, scoring two goals and assisting three.

Man Utd would like to sign a full-back to compete with Diogo Dalot in the long-term.

Erik ten Hag is reportedly willing to let Aaron Wan-Bissaka leave Old Trafford but any move for Dumfries could have to wait for the summer due to financial reasons.
