As Chelsea continue being linked to Inter Milan fullback Denzel Dumfries, it seems his situation at the Serie A side could help the chances of this move happening.

That’s written by Calcio Mercato, who point out that with the 26-year-old staying on the bench, he’s no longer ‘untouchable’ at the Italian club.

It’s said Dumfries did not expect to be taken out of the team, especially after the World Cup he had, and that’s why his departure becomes possible in January.

Chelsea are said to be ‘above all’ in the race for this signing, as the Blues compete with other Premier League clubs for the transfer.

Calcio Mercato point out Inter Milan have ‘cash-flow needs’ which should also impact on the club’s necessity to sell a player.

Recent reports from the Italian media already claimed that Dumfries is only waiting for the ‘green light’ to make the move to Chelsea.

This week, it was said the Blues are willing to pay as much as €35m for his signing. The problem is that Inter Milan are requesting something approaching €60m, and only a discount would make the transfer possible.
