Newcastle want to strengthen with Man United's recent transfer target

Newcastle kept right-back Kieran Trippier from leaving for Turkish clubs in the summer transfer window, but the Magpies realise it is better to hedge their bets and sign a potential replacement for the ex-England player.

Details: According to teamTALK, Newcastle want to bring in Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries for such purposes. He is entering his final year of his contract with the Nerazzurri, and if the 28-year-old Dutchman does not sign a new deal, he can sign a tentative contract with any club from 1 January to move there in the summer as a free agent.

Recall: In the winter transfer window Dumfries was interested in Manchester United, and interest in him also showed Aston Villa. Then negotiations on the 28-year-old defender's contract reached an impasse and Inter were ready to sell him for a sum of at least 20 million euros.
