Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea are reportedly determined to sign Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus in the summer transfer window.
According to Corriere della Sera, Chelsea have made a bid for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.
The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that Chelsea have offered Juventus €60 million (£51.5 million) for the striker.
The Serie A club have turned it down, according to the report.
What should Chelsea do about Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic now?
In our opinion, Chelsea should go back again for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.
It is hardly ever the case these days that the first bid for any player is accepted.
It is all about negotiations and compromise.
There is already speculation that the striker’s agent has held talks with Chelsea and Arsenal, and that the former Fiorentina star himself is keen on leaving.
Clearly, the Serbian is open to a new adventure.
We believe that if Chelsea made a better offer, then they could be able to sign Vlahovic, described as “a complete centre-forward” who “has physique, a sense for goal, good technique, progression and aerial skills” by Lecce director Pantaleo Corvino in La Gazzetta dello Sport, as transcribed by Football Italia.
Juventus are having financial problems, and they are also now going to face competition from the likes of AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli for the Serie A title in the coming years.
The Bianconeri are unlikely to be able to compete with Real Madrid, Manchester City or Bayern Munich for the UEFA Champions League anytime soon.
A move away from Juventus could be appealing to Vlahovic.
