Even though Chelsea’s pursuit for Denzel Dumfries continues being reported week after week, a specific report from Italy today makes clear how serious this chase is.

The claims are brought by Niccolo Ceccarini, who in his editorial at Tutto Mercato Web, brings fresh transfer news about Italy’s biggest clubs.

Regarding Dumfries, it’s said his situation at Inter Milan ‘remains open’, as Chelsea are ‘back strong’ for the signing.

The Nerazzurri continue trying to resist. First by not letting the player move for less than €40m, then by trying to hold him until the end of the season.

However, Ceccarini claims that Inter Milan are ‘aware of the risk’ of losing the Dutchman, and that’s why already started looking at potential replacements, with Tottenham Hotspur’s Emerson Royal maybe ‘one of the most popular profiles’.

Chelsea’s pursuit for Dumfries had already been highlighted by the same journalist in an editorial at the start of the week, when he claimed that despite Nerazzurri’s big request for his sale, the Blues actually had the financial power to ‘shake’ the club and take him away.
