Manchester United and Chelsea could find themselves in a “bidding war” with Bayern Munich for Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries.
That’s according to journalist Marco Barzaghi, who says the Premier League duo are keen on the Netherlands international.
Dumfries has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League next month, with Inter eyeing another lucrative sale of one of their key players to help balance the books.
Manchester United have been linked as the right-back position has been something of a problem for them, despite Diogo Dalot impressing this season and Aaron Wan-Bissaka forcing himself back into contention of late.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have been admirers since the summer and remain so, particularly as they may need to find a replacement for Reece James after he was injured on his return to the side in their first game after the World Cup break.
That’s led to increased speculation about a move next month but Barzaghi says there is the potential of a bidding war developing with United and Bayern.
“Dumfries had a star turn in the World Cup, with goals and assists,” he told his YouTube channel, relayed by FC Inter 1908.
“Given the prices that are circulating, 60 million could fit, but even 50 million could be good. A bidding war cannot be ruled out with Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
“(They) could offer the Moroccan flanker Mazraoui as a quid pro quo, but he costs and could fetch around 20 million. Tottenham is also on the player and could offer Emerson Royal.”
