Chelsea could have the chance to sign Inter Milan defender Federico Dimarco next summer.

According to InterLive, a bid of around €60m (£52m) could be enough to tempt Inter into selling Federico Dimarco in 2024.

It could be good news for Chelsea, who have been linked with the left-back.

In September, 90min claimed that Dimarco had caught the attention of the Blues and that they have actually scouted him this season.

They are not light in the left-back position, with Mauricio Pochettino having Levi Colwill, Ben Chilwell, Marc Cucurella and Ian Maatsen who can all play there. But the futures of some of those players, including Maatsen, are in doubt.

Chelsea have to make room before signing Federico Dimarco

There are too many left-backs at Chelsea at this moment in time. The club will have to get rid of at least a couple if they wish to sign Dimarco.

Pochettino’s current options, though, are not bad ones. So we do not think the Argentine needs to be prioritising that area of the squad.

Honestly, until Chelsea’s striker situation is addressed, they should not be looking at other departments. It is their biggest issue right now and is costing them in games.

Pochettino’s men dominated their last match against Brentford, which ended 2-0 to the Bees.

According to WhoScored, they had almost 70% possession and registered 17 shots. Had the Blues had a prolific No.9 on the day, it could have been an extremely different scoreline.

Ultimately, then, that is the only thing Chelsea should be thinking about. After that, then they can start looking at bringing in more defenders like Dimarco if they feel that it is absolutely necessary.

But again, before someone like the Italian is snapped up, the Blues need to get rid of some of their current options in the left-back position.
