Last Friday, we covered a claim from Italy that explained the ‘shadow’ of Chelsea continues to ‘float over’ Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries.
Operating as a right wing-back, he has two goals and two assists from 14 matches in all competitions this season. The 26-year-old’s agent talked about his approach and attitude while hailing his qualities.
“He is an exemplary professional, he wants to emerge, he wants to play. He always plans many goals and achieves them: I like him as a player, I like his concrete and positive attitude,” Rafaela Pimenta told Tuttosport.
Pimenta’s quote is relayed by InterLive.it, who then provide their own information on the big English clubs that are keen on Dumfries. This is when Chelsea get a mention as they are the club ‘leading the list of suitors’.
A week ago, Recce James picked up an injury in his side’s Champions League win over AC Milan. With him currently ruled out, it’s said the west London club ‘have plans to attempt the assault as early as January’ for the Netherlands international.
The Blues have a good relationship with the Nerazzurri due to the deals completed for Romelu Lukaku and Cesare Casadei in the summer.
Inter, for their part, don’t want to open talks for the Dutchman’s sale in January. That does not mean a potential deal in the next window is completely ruled out.
Dumfries is valued at €50m and with Chelsea, the ‘business always goes as it should go’. The report adds that Inter offering a ‘discount’ to €40m to the Premier League side is ‘not excluded’.
