Dumfries fuels Premier League speculation with new agent, but West Ham warned

Multiple sources in Italy claim that Inter star Denzel Dumfries has picked Ali Barat as his new agent, fuelling speculation of a possible move to the Premier League.

Inter right-back Dumfries has changed his agent, picking Ali Barat in place of Jorge Mendes, according to Gazzetta and Calciomercato.com.

Both reports imply that the Dutchman’s latest move is intended to position himself for a potential transfer to other clubs in the future, particularly in the Premier League, where Ali Barat has strong connections.

Dumfries is contracted with Inter until June 2028 and has a €25m clause that is only valid in the first two weeks of July.

This means that if any club want to sign the 29-year-old in January, Inter will be free to negotiate any transfer fee.

West Ham already approached Dumfries in the past, but Gazzetta warns that the defender would only consider joining top sides.

‘If a team of West Ham’s level arrives (as it happened already), Dumfries will stay in Milan,’ wrote the pink paper.

Dumfries is currently out of action due to an ankle injury and is not expected to return before January 2026.
