Inter Milan will allow Chelsea target Denzel Dumfries to leave the club for €45 million (£39.3million), according to reports in Italy. The right wing-back has long been identified as a possible reinforcement at Stamford Bridge following his performances in Italy.
The Blues are understood to be considering adding a new right-sided wing-back to Graham Potter's squad this month following Reece James' reoccurring injury to his knee. The Cobham graduate is currently out of action after aggravating a knee injury upon the return of domestic football last month, a problem he first picked up in October.
Earlier this week, it was reported from La Repubblica that Chelsea had submitted a £30.8million bid for Dumfries but were below Inter's intended fee. The report claimed that the 19-time Italian champions want €55m (£48.4m) for the wing-back due to Todd Boehly's recent spending.
