Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Blues are now shifting their attention to the Dutchman after reportedly missing out and abandoning a long-awaited agreement for Jules Kounde, according to the Evening Standard.
According to reports, the Blues were set to finalize the trade for the Sevilla player, but Barcelona’s involvement in the issue has made them the overwhelming favorites to seal the deal.
Chelsea now focuses on Dumfries
With less than two weeks before the start of the Premier League season, Thomas Tuchel is in a critical need to bolster his defense, as they have so far only added Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli.
They are apparently turning to Serie A for their newest acquisition as a result.
The Evening Standard reports that Inter Milan must sell a high-priced player this summer for financial reasons, making them a suitable team to target.
According to the source, the Italian powerhouses are more willing to go with Dumfries than Milan Skriniar, who is also rumored to be on Chelsea’s shopping list.
After a remarkable performance in the European Championships, the Dutch international made his name known to the world, earning the praise of commentator Ally McCoist who called him “wonderful to watch.”
Reece James might be used in the right-center-back position by Thomas Tuchel, who frequently expresses a desire to play him there even though he is not naturally the center-back the club appears to so sorely need.
If the Blues do decide to continue talks with Inter, they should also look at Skriniar’s skills as the club is eager to quickly bolster its defense with someone of his caliber and experience.
