Manchester United and Chelsea could battle it out for Denzel Dumfries, with Inter Milan set to make the wing-back available in the summer. According to Fichajes, Inter Milan could put Denel Dumfries for sale in the summer, with Chelsea and Manchester United interested. The Dutchman is only coming at the back of a stunning Serie A win and could move on to a more significant challenge as his club faces financial challenges in the close season.

Manchester United will battle Chelsea for Denzel Dumfries? Manchester United are clearly about to make some changes to their defensive setup; with new management, INEOS is eager to bring in players with more credibility. They could dispense with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and are looking to replace him with Denzel Dumfries.

Dumfries offers a lot in the attacking third and could even defend well, as he has showcased with Inter Milan and the Dutch national side. Manchester United are willing to pay well to sign the 28-year-old Serie A-winning wing-back, and Inter Milan is reportedly open to offers amid their financial struggles.

Chelsea are also keen, and have maintained an inteerst since last summer. The Blues also face a summer window where they are eager to bring in defenders, especially a right-back, amid the long-term fitness concerns with skipper Reece James.

Hence, Chelsea might explore a move for the 28-year-old Serie A-winning wing-back, although they must convince the player to choose them over Manchester United and others. Now, all eyes will be on Inter Milan and their asking price for the Dutchman, as the club may have little power given that Dumfries will enter the final year of his deal at the San Siro.

Why are Inter Milan selling Dumfries? Ideally, any team that wins the domestic championship will likely reward their best performers with a new deal. However, Dumfries will have a year left on his contract, and Inter Milan are in a financial situation that needs them to sell players to raise funds.

Dumfries is one of the many stars that the club are considering dispensing off with. They are looking at Manchester United's Wan-Bissaka as a potential replacement for the Dutchman, considering the English defender is also in a contractual position and might be available on the cheap in the summer.
