Chelsea in talks with Inter over potential move for two players – Gazzetta

Chelsea and Inter are in talks over the potential of two Nerazzurri players moving to Stamford Bridge, according to reports in Italy.

The two clubs have already done business this summer with Romelu Lukaku, who had left Inter for Chelsea in a €115 million move 12 months ago, going in the other direction on loan.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report Denzel Dumfries is the main topic of discussion between the two sides, while Milan Škriniar’s future could also come into the talks.

The report suggests Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel had asked Dumfries be included in any deal for Lukaku before the club’s agreed on a loan.

In terms of a straight trade, Chelsea were informed it would cost €40m to sign the Netherlands international, according to the report, and while the Blues feel the figure is too high, it has not put them off pursuing their target.

Meanwhile, having seemingly missed out on Joules Koundé to Barcelona, Chelsea would be interested to know more about Škriniar’s availability.
