Chelsea monitoring Interโ€™s Denzel Dumfries and Stefan de Vrij

Chelsea and Inter, as previously reported, will meet on Friday to find a resolution on Romelu Lukakuโ€™s future. There could be a mention of other names, including Denzel Dumfries.

According to a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Denzel Dumfries is Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchelโ€™s favourite player at Inter. The German boss rates the wing-back highly and is willing to sign him this summer.ย 

But the report understands that Inter have slapped a price tag of around โ‚ฌ45 million on the services of the Dutchman in the approaching summer transfer window.ย 

Apart from Dumfries, the Blues are reportedly monitoring Stefan de Vrij. Paris Saint-Germain have intensified their efforts to land the Milan ล kriniar. As per the latest update on that piece of news, Inter have already rebuffed PSGโ€™s offer of โ‚ฌ50million plus players. Interโ€™s demand stands at โ‚ฌ80 million.

Should they get their asking price, Inter could lose a pivotal figure of their central defence. Alessandro Bastoni has been linked with a move away from Inter in recent times. And now, the reports around Stefan de Vrij could result in the Nerazzurri offloading all of their first-choice defenders in one transfer window.

Nevertheless, Fridayโ€™s meeting will mainly focus on making progress in Lukakuโ€™s loan deal. There, Chelsea want โ‚ฌ10-12 million, while Inter are backing their dreams of getting Lukaku back with an offer of around โ‚ฌ5 million plus โ‚ฌ2 million in various bonuses.
