Chelsea are looking to pick up both Wesley Fofana and Denzel Dumfries this summer, wanting both players in Thomas Tuchel’s defence.
The Blues lost both Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger earlier this month to free transfers, forcing them to add some reinforcements to their backline. They’ve already completed a deal for Kalidou Koulibaly and now they’re working on completing two more signings.
As reported by The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Chelsea are in talks for both Fofana and Dumfries, keen to pick up both before the summer transfer window ends. The former is significantly more expensive, with Leicester City wanting around £80-85m, whilst the latter would be cheaper, especially considering Inter’s need to generate funds.
The Blues have already been in close contact with the Nerazzurri this summer, having completed the loan return of Romelu Lukaku. Now the two parties could complete another deal, one that would benefit both parties as the new season rapidly approaches.
