Chelsea have made an offer for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic which is ‘being studied’ by the Italian giants.

That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport, who say Juventus coach Max Allegri, the club’s sports director Giovanni Manna and the player have sat down for a meeting after an ‘English blitz’ from the Blues.

The newspaper explains that the trio met in Milan yesterday to discuss his future after Manna’s recent trip around Europe dealing with potential transfers.

One of those is Vlahovic to Chelsea, who have offered Cristian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevor Chalobah as potential inclusions in any deal for the Serbian.

They are in the ‘front row’ for the striker and have ‘half a team’ to sell or place into transfer deals as they look to balance the books.

The Blues presented a list of players to Manna that they are willing to include in a deal for Vlahovic, which would have to be worth at least €80m for Juventus to accept it.

That list was extensive, to say the least, but there is a general approval over Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah and Pulisic in particular as they could help cover weak points in the squad.

The ‘offer is being studied’ by those in charge at the Italian club at this moment in time, although if there was a ‘thrust’ by Chelsea then Juventus would try to secure a cash only offer until the last minute.

They’re definitely tempted by the potential inclusion of players, though, so long as the Blues can balance that out with a good transfer fee for Vlahovic too.
