# Virals: Fabrizio Romano Issues Everton Update on Denzel Dumfries

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has explained where [Everton](https://readeverton.com/2021/07/03/yannick-bolasie-filmed-training-with-everton-ace-ben-godfrey/) stand in relation to their pursuit of Netherlands international Denzel Dumfries.

The young PSV Eindhoven right-back has been tracked for some time by Everton scouts, with manager Roger Schmidt[admitting](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-transfer-denzel-dumfries-psv-20914059) that the defensive talent is a likely departure this summer.

Bayern Munich were also believed to be in the race for his signature but baulked at the prospect of paying the player’s[€15 million release clause.](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-transfer-denzel-dumfries-psv-20914059)

Speaking via his newly launched [Twitch channel](https://www.twitch.tv/fabrizioromano/about)\[04/07/21, via[Goodison News](https://www.goodisonnews.com/2021/07/05/fabrizio-romano-everton-have-gone-quiet-in-denzel-dumfries-chase/)\], Romano issued the latest update regarding the pursuit of Dumfries as he discussed a myriad of rumours with viewers. Romano said:

“It’s gone quiet at the moment on Everton talks. Inter \[Milan\] are going for something different due to the high fee and their financial situation.”

Operating as a wing-back as part of a defensive quintet, Dumfries was a standout performer in Frank de Boer’s former side – despite an early Euro 2020 exit for the Dutch.

The defender scored twice in four games, including a dramatic late winner in the Netherlands’ 3-2 group stage victory over a spirited Ukraine side.

Energetic and with his prime years still ahead of him, Dumfries could be an ideal long-run replacement for club captain Seamus Coleman.

[Noted for his high-intensity](https://sempremilan.com/analysing-milan-target-denzel-dumfries-the-fix-to-the-rossoneris-right-back-issue) energetic style of play, his ability to utilise the right flank renders him a strong and potent presence both in defence and in attacking build-up play.

Dumfries cuts the mould of a complete wing-back and at just €15 million, his release clause represents superb value for money.

With the right-back role a priority for Everton this summer, Romano’s update will be an unwanted stall in fans’ hopes for the pursuit of Dumfries.
