Super agent Rafaela Pimenta is currently in England to hold talks with Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester United over Denzel Dumfries, according to Gazetta dello sport.
Chelsea have been chasing Lyon’s right back Malo Gusto over the last few days but no agreement has been reached thus far.
Dumfries has been a previous Chelsea target with the Blues said to be circling around the player last summer. Inter Milan have always held a bullish stance when it comes to Dumfries, with figures of 35-40 million pounds mooted over the last months.

However, with Inter Milan struggling financially, the price could drop, but that is nothing more than speculation at this stage and with Chelsea currently refusing to pay over 20 million pounds for Gusto, it does seem unlikely that Chelsea will pay Inter’s current valuation.
Further developments on right back are expected very soon with Chelsea still searching for Reece James cover despite the fullback set to return in some capacity next week against Fulham.
I honestly haven’t seen Gusto in action, but watching Dumfries at the WC, he’s the real deal and we’d be crazy not to grab him if the price is right. Would hate to have to face him for years to come wearing the red of Utd.
