If Inter do sell Denzel Dumfries to Chelsea, then they plan to replace him with Udinese’s Italy Under-21 international Destiny Udogie.
The Nerazzurri need to sell at least one big name this summer to balance the books, and with PSG still not reaching the €70m asking price for Milan Skriniar, it becomes increasingly likely that Dumfries will be the one sacrificed.
Chelsea are leading that particular race for the €40m-rated right-wing-back, who some suggested might be an alternative to Sevilla’s Jules Koundé, although they play very different roles in defence.
After a long tug-of-war, Barcelona have secured Koundé for circa €60m including add-ons.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, if Inter do sell Dumfries after just one season, then his replacement will be Udogie.
The 19-year-old was born and raised in Italy by Nigerian parents and has four caps for Italy at Under-21 level.
The left-back only recently signed a new contract to June 2026 after making the initial loan move from Hellas Verona permanent for €4m plus bonuses.
Udogie impressed last term with five goals and three assists in 35 Serie A appearances.
