Chelsea are reportedly keen on adding a new name into the potential deal to sell or loan Romelu Lukaku back to Inter Milan this summer.
Three names were mentioned yesterday – Lautaro Martinez, Alessandro Bastoni, and Milan Skriniar.
Sources: Seven defenders that Chelsea are working on
However, Italian media are suggesting that all three are unlikely. Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that Chelsea are actually keen on right sided player Denzel Dumfries and have put forward his name as part of any deal.
