Earlier on Thursday, we covered a story claiming that Chelsea had made the first contacts in an attempt to sign Dusan Vlahovic.
The Serbia international appears to be Mauricio Pochettino’s first choice when it comes to bolstering the attack at Stamford Bridge, and with Romelu Lukaku likely leaving, a new arrival is needed.
Corriere dello Sport have a bit more on the subject on Thursday, where the newspaper make it clear Vlahovic ‘wants to leave’ Juventus.
His move to the Serie A giants from Fiorentina really didn’t go to plan, as he has failed to find the same vein of form as he did in Florence, and that has led to both criticism from the media and an apparent desire to try something new.
Corriere explain the player ‘feels ready to try another league’, and his exit could open the door for Juventus to find someone else, and perhaps try and convince Lukaku to sign.
Regardless of what happens with Chelsea, Juventus will want ‘at least €65m’ for the player, for whom they paid a similar fee in the first place, as they try and recoup their money.
Since arriving in Turin, the 23-year-old has scored 23 goals and assisted another six in 63 appearances, compared to his 49 goals in 108 games for Fiorentina.
