In addition to talks for Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea will have talks with Inter Milan for defender Denzel Dumfries next week.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Corriere Dello Sport, Gazzetta Dello Sport, and Sport Mediaset all claim that the Blues are interested in signing the Dutchman.
The two clubs are now in talks about Lukaku returning to Inter, and a conference call is scheduled to discuss this and other trade matters.
A swap deal for Lukaku had been discussed, but according to Corriere, it is no longer an option, and any prospective trades would be handled separately.
Chelsea has ‘recognized’ Dumfries as a promising player, and Thomas Tuchel is a fan, according to Gazzetta, who adds that the full-back is ‘particularly’ appealing.
Dumfries appears ‘above all’ among the Inter players being discussed by Chelsea, according to Sport Mediaset. Indeed, he is said to have been Tuchel’s ‘obsession.’
Inter Milan would let the defender depart for the correct price, according to Corriere. The sum is €40 million, although the other two sources put it at €60 million. Sport Mediaset, on the other hand, claims that a value of €40-45 million ‘would be heard.’
The talks are ongoing, but it has been stated that any agreement will not be part of the Lukaku discussions and would instead be a separate operation.
