Earlier today, we covered a big article in Gazzetta dello Sport about Chelsea and Juventus’ potential deal involving Romelu Lukaku and Dusan Vlahovic.
It was made clear in there that Mauricio Pochettino wasn’t overly thrilled at the idea of working with the Serbian, but the Blues need to get rid of the Belgian, leaving them little choice but to try and find a solution with the Turin side.
Well, Calciomercato bring their slant to the fore on Tuesday morning, where they focus on Vlahovic’s side of things, and how he feels about it all.
With the two clubs getting closer to finding an agreement, as Juventus are willing to accept €30m + €5m in bonuses while Chelsea want to only pay €20m, the striker has a choice to make.
Everyone is already aware of Lukaku’s desire to leave Stamford Bridge, despite his mishaps in negotiations with Inter Milan, but the Serbian’s slant has been a bit quieter.
They state that the idea of a move to Chelsea ‘pleases but does not excite’ the 24-year-old, who would rather to move to Real Madrid or Bayern Munich if he had a choice.
However, it doesn’t appear like he does at this moment in time with Juventus pushing the Stamford Bridge side down his throat, and that’s why he has set himself a deadline when it comes to making a decision about a move to London.
That specific bit of news is brought to the fore by Alfredo Pedullà, who is credited with the information in the article, who reveals that Vlahovic will let people know within 24-36 hours what he will do.
This is a timeframe that ‘coincides with tomorrow’s 6.30pm fixture’ between Juventus’ first-team and their B squad, which is exactly why Calciomercato ask whether that could be his final game in the black and white shirt.
