Chelsea are among the clubs to have made ‘soundings’ in recent months for Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries, with the Italian side open to a sale.
That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport, who say Inter would be happy to sell Dumfries if any of his suitors are willing to pay their €60m asking price.
The newspaper explains that Inter are planning something of a reinvention of their squad in the coming months, but the ownership have made it clear this can only be done with ‘excellent disposals’ first.
Dumfries is one of the big-name players that could depart, and the club are aware that he is ‘very popular’ in England.
They’ve made it clear to any interested parties that it will take €60m before they even sit at the table but are happy to do a deal as such a figure would allow them to reinvent the squad as they would like to.
Whether Chelsea are willing to pay such a figure for the Dutchman remains to be seen, particularly when they already have Reece James for the right-full back position.
They have been linked with a move for Dumfries for several months, though, and it seems they’re expected to be in the mix again in the next few months
