Manchester United Reject Inter Milan’s Swap Offer for Wan-Bissaka as Contract Extension Activated
In a surprising turn of events, Manchester United has rebuffed Inter Milan’s attempt to acquire Aaron Wan-Bissaka in a trade involving Dutch wing-back Denzel Dumfries. The 26-year-old right-back, despite missing over a month due to a hamstring injury, has been a pivotal player for manager Erik ten Hag, making 10 starts in the current campaign. Despite his contract initially set to expire after this season, United has exercised an option to retain Wan-Bissaka at Old Trafford until 2025.
Inter Milan’s proposal to include Dumfries in the deal raises eyebrows, considering the 27-year-old Dutchman’s stellar performance as one of Serie A’s top offensive right-backs, contributing significantly to Filippo Inzagi’s squad with 18 appearances this season. However, a contract standoff between Dumfries and Inter over salary demands has complicated matters, as the player seeks £80,000 per week, while the club is willing to offer approximately £35,000.
Inter Milan, facing financial constraints and the need to comply with Financial Fair Play rules in Italy, is currently one point behind Juventus in the league standings with one game remaining. The decision to pursue Wan-Bissaka and part ways with Dumfries reflects the club’s strategic approach to bolster their squad.
Meanwhile, Manchester United finds itself in the seventh position in the Premier League, trailing 16 points behind leaders Liverpool. Since 2022, the Red Devils have shown interest in Dumfries, who made a £12 million switch from PSV to Inter in 2021. Wan-Bissaka, who joined United in 2019 for a reported £50 million, has been a consistent performer, featuring in 177 tournaments and securing a Carabao Cup victory last year.
With both clubs navigating the complexities of the transfer market, the future of these defensive stalwarts hangs in the balance as the transfer window deadline approaches. The rejection of Inter’s swap offer signals Manchester United’s commitment to retaining Wan-Bissaka as they strive to improve their standing in the Premier League.
