Chelsea are seeking to sign Inter Milan right-back Denzel Dumfries.
The Serie A giants are said to want upwards of £30million for the Holland star.
La Repubblica says the Blues have already had one offer for the 26-year-old turned down.
And they suggest the former PSV hero is willing to move.
It's suggested Chelsea will contact Inter on Thursday - with one eye on completing a move in time for the Premier League kick-off.
