On Monday, InterLive.it reported Chelsea have ‘surprisingly showed up’ to sign Juventus’ Dušan Vlahović in the next window.
The Blues wanting the striker is further discussed by Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday. He’s scored 11 goals and registered four assists from 31 matches in all competitions this season.
Even though the 23-year-old has scored only once for the Serie A side [against Freiburg] since mid-February, he continues to draw attention from other clubs, including Chelsea.
Juventus are currently seventh in the table, eight points behind fourth placed AC Milan. If the Old Lady fail to qualify for the Champions League next season, it’s highly probable for them to make an important sacrifice to improve their economic conditions.
With the Serbian international in the sights of foreign clubs, the Turin club could allow him to leave after this season.
The Blues and Bayern Munich are the two clubs tagged and it’s said Chelsea are ‘in the lead’ to sign the former Fiorentina man.
Juve need a ‘substantial’ offer to part ways with the frontman. Gazzetta don’t specify the Serie A side’s demands.
The player, for his part, isn’t ‘reluctant’ to change clubs, but it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will make meet whatever demands Juventus have in place for Vlahović in the summer.
