Revealed: Inter Milan’s asking price for Man Utd and Chelsea-target Dumfries
Inter Milan’s asking price for Denzel Dumfries has increased after his impressive World Cup for the Netherlands.
Dumfries has been one of the best right wing-backs in Qatar, playing a key role in Holland’s journey to the quarter-finals where they only went out on penalties to Argentina.
The 26-year-old scored one goal and grabbed two assists and was a constant force up and down the right flank in Louis van Gaal’s team.

Both Man Utd and Chelsea would like to sign Dumfries in 2023, with Erik ten Hag in particular known to be a huge fan of the Inter star.
United have made a new right back a priority in the January transfer window, while Chelsea are looking for an alternative to Reece James.
Dumfries is physically suited to the Premier League as he boasts strength, stamina, speed, aerial ability and boasts a goal threat.
How much will Dumfries cost?
According to transfer journalist Nicolo Schira, Inter have raised their asking price for Dumfries to €50 million.
Dumfries joined Inter from PSV 15 months ago after a successful Euro 2020 and enjoyed an excellent first season at the club.
He scored five goals and provided six assists for the Nerazzurri as they won two trophies and finished second in Serie A.
This term Dumfries has two goals and two assists so far for Inter.
But the Italian giants are likely to sell Dumfries in 2023 as they need to sacrifice a valuable player for financial reasons.
Inter need to make a transfer profit of €60m by the end of the financial year on June 30, and Dumfries is one of the few players who can raise the cash required to reach that amount.
A move in January appears unlikely, but a summer transfer is very possible.
