Amid all the excitement regarding the midfield incomings at Chelsea, with bids for Tyler Adams, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia being made, there’s also the Romelu Lukaku problem that needs resolving.
The Blues have made it clear they don’t want the Belgian around, who also wants out from Stamford Bridge, and talk of a deal involving Dusan Vlahovic has been ongoing for quite some time.
Corriere dello Sport bring some positive news on Thursday, and explain that it all appears to be going smoothly.
The Chelsea forward has made it clear he doesn’t want to go to Saudi Arabia, which is frustrating the teams there, and therefore the Blues are working on different angles, like the Juventus one.
It’s revealed that those in charge at Stamford Bridge sat down for a chat on Wednesday, and it was reportedly agreed there is a ‘concrete’ desire to return to the Turin side ‘with a new offer’.
Not only that, but Pochettino is now ‘convinced of the goodness of the operation’, and he sees Vlahovic as the ‘right man for the relaunch’ following Christopher Nkunku’s injury.
Max Allegri, down his end, would ‘welcome Big Rom with open arms’, and feels he’s better suited for his style of play than the Serbian.
It is pointed out, though, that ‘time is running out’, as the two leagues start soon, but a new offer means the ‘white smoke can arrive’.
It’s up to Chelsea now.
