According to the latest reports in the English media, Manchester United and Chelsea could very soon be in a fierce competition with each other, for the card of Denzel Dumfries. The Dutchman has been part of Inter in Italy since 2021, but news of a move to the Premier League has never stopped.
Chelsea are looking for a player who can play in the position of Reece James, who has suffered many injuries in recent seasons. James is currently injured and is expected to be out of action for at least 1 month. On the other hand, United are also looking for more solid options at the back. Coach Ten Hag is unhappy with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while Diogo Dalot is out of contract next year.
Inter are believed to be seeking around 50-60 million euros for the Dumfries card, a figure acceptable to both Premier League giants. However, there is another rival in the race for the Dutchman's services. It is about Tottenham, which has an advantage compared to its rivals.
Antonio Conte's team is ready to include the card of Emerson Royal in the deal. The latter would be a direct replacement for Dumfries and Inter are thought to like the proposition. Especially considering the fact that Emerson has been regularly active with Tottenham this season.
Bayern Munich are also interested in the Dutch defender, and the Bavarians are willing to offer the card of Noussair Mazraoui to reach a deal. However, the Germans are not as focused on Dumfries as their Premier League opponents.
The defender himself is thought to favor a move to the Premier League, but his preferred team is still a mystery.
