Getty Images SportBayern Munich eye Man City & Barcelona target as Vincent Kompany aims to sign new right-back
Bayern Munich have identified Inter defender Denzel Dumfries as a primary target to resolve their long-standing issues at right-back under Vincent Kompany. The Netherlands international is reportedly considering a summer exit from San Siro, sparking a high-profile transfer battle involving Manchester City and Barcelona.
Kompany seeks defensive reinforcements
The Bavarian giants have reignited their interest in Dumfries, according to reports from TransferFeed, as they seek a permanent solution for a position currently occupied by makeshift options Konrad Laimer and Josip Stanisic. While Feyenoord's youthful prospect Givairo Read, 19, remains on the shortlist, club officials view the 29-year-old Inter star as a more immediate, experienced upgrade for the first team. Despite being contracted until 2028, the Italian leaders are reportedly prepared to sell the full-back during the upcoming summer transfer window.

A familiar target returns
This is not the first time the former PSV man has been linked with a move to the German giants, having appeared on Bayern's radar during multiple previous transfer cycles. His current campaign was disrupted by an ankle injury suffered in late 2025, which sidelined him for three months before he eventually reclaimed his place in the starting line-up in February. However, his recent displays have proved his fitness as Inter continue their dominant march towards the Serie A title ahead of rivals Napoli.
