Inter are open to selling one of their key defenders this summer.

Chelsea are reportedly keen to add Inter’s Denzel Dumfries to their ranks amid interest from Manchester United.

Inter are looking to sell a major star to balance their books ahead of the upcoming Serie A campaign. 

Reports around Milan Skriniar’s possible departure emerged at the beginning of the current transfer window. However, PSG have been reluctant to meet Inter’s €80m demand for the defender.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Nerazzurri might accept a bid for Dumfries after failing to sell Skriniar.

The Italian outlet claims Chelsea have shown interest in signing the Dutch full-back. The Blues must compete against Premier League rivals Manchester United to secure Dumfries’ signing this summer.

Inter have already signed Raoul Bellanova from Cagliari as a backup for Dumfries. However, the Nerazzurri are determined to avoid selling Dumfries for anything lower than their asking price of €40m.

Dumfries joined Inter after his brilliant Euro 2020 campaign last summer. Following his €13.7m move from Eindhoven, the Netherland international scored five goals and provided seven assists in his 45 appearances for the Nerazzurri across all competitions last season. 

Inter are also eyeing a move for Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic. However, they are yet to submit a bid for the 24-year-old.
