Dumfries' price tag is shocking; MU can't ignore it.

Denzel Dumfries will continue to have a release clause of just €25 million next summer.

Denzel Dumfries will continue to have a release clause of just €25 million next summer.

Dumfries entered the summer of 2026 with a detail that was enough to heat up any transfer meeting room: a release clause worth €25 million. Given the ever-increasing prices of full-backs in Europe, that figure was almost a bargain.

Barcelona have expressed interest in the Dutch international. This is not surprising, as Dumfries is a modern right-back, physically strong, direct in attack, and with top-level experience. However, Barca are not the only team to keep an eye on him. Manchester United have the clearest reason to consider this transfer.

For many seasons, Manchester United's right flank has been a persistent problem. The Old Trafford club lacked a right-back who could both provide defensive support and create attacking opportunities. Dumfries almost perfectly fulfills those criteria. He is strong in tackles, effective in attacking runs, and particularly dangerous when penetrating the penalty area.

At 29, Dumfries is no longer a "project," but a proven player. He has extensive experience playing at the highest level, from the Champions League to international tournaments with the Netherlands national team. For MU, this is a crucial factor in a context where the team needs stability, not another long-term gamble.

The €25 million price tag makes the deal even more reasonable. In the current market, this amount is unlikely to buy MU a right-back of comparable quality. Even promising young players are often priced higher, along with the risk of not adapting.

Of course, Dumfries isn't the absolute perfect choice. His power-oriented playing style requires a suitable support system. But compared to the cost, the risk is very low. In case of needing to rotate or resell him, MU won't have to worry about "tying up capital".

With Barcelona entering the fray, any delay could cost MU their advantage. At €25 million, Dumfries is not only a sensible signing, but also a practical solution to the right-wing problem at Old Trafford. If they miss this opportunity, MU could pay a much higher price in the next transfer window.
