Inter Milan 'set £43m asking price for Man United and Chelsea target'

Inter Milan have revealed their asking price for a Chelsea and Manchester United transfer target, according to reports.

The Premier League giants will be looking to bolster their squad depth in either January or the next summer window, after slow starts to their 2023-24 campaign.

The Red Devils in particular could revisit a number of summer transfer targets after a string of injuries and player-manager fall-outs has left their squad paper thin.

One player who United and Chelsea showed interest was Inter full-back Denzel Dumfries, who has impressed both domestically and on the international scene.

However, any attempt to sign the full-back could be prevented by the lucrative price-tag that the Italian giants have reportedly set.

According to CalcioMercato, Inter have set a £43million (€50m) asking price for the 27-year-old full-back.

Dumfries currently has two years remaining on his deal at the San Siro but the Italian side are hopeful of tying the full-back down to a new deal.

Both United and Chelsea were hit with a massive set-back to their pursuit of Dumfries in the summer when the full-back insisted that he was 'staying' in Italy.

In June, according to Manchester Evening News, the full-back said: 'When we get back together, despite this defeat, we will be hungry for victory next season.

'What if I stay at Inter? Yes, at the moment I'm staying at Inter,' the defender claimed in an interview after their 1-0 defeat to Man City in the Champions League final.

Dumfries has been a revelation in Italy, as he enters his third season at the club, after joining from Dutch giants PSV in the summer of 2021.

Since then, he's managed to record nine goals and 18 assists from 109 appearances - making him one of the best attacking full-backs
