Denzel Dumfries could be the solution for Romelu Lukaku’s return to Inter, as it’s reported the right-back could be heading to Chelsea.
It is no secret now that Lukaku is pushing to come back to San Siro, having realised his mistake in forcing a transfer to Stamford Bridge last summer.
As Chelsea paid €115m for the Belgium international, the only way he can return is on loan or with some sort of exchange deal.
Names mentioned as being of interest to Thomas Tuchel included Lautaro Martinez, Alessandro Bastoni or Milan Skriniar.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper, the most likely candidate in this situation would be Dumfries.
The Dutch international only joined Inter a year ago as a replacement for Achraf Hakimi, who in turn lasted only one season before he was sold to PSG at a massive profit.
Inter paid €13.7m to get Dumfries from PSV Eindhoven, whereas now his value on the transfer market is placed at circa €40m.
The 26-year-old impressed with five goals and seven assists in 45 competitive matches for the Nerazzurri.
The Nerazzurri are already hot on the chase for a new right wing-back, Raoul Bellanova from Cagliari.
