Chelsea is now only prepared to meet 50% of the club’s demands in order to sign the player Pochettino believes to be the best.

Dusan Vlahovic will only accept Chelsea’s offer of €20 million (£17 million), which is €20 million less than the €40 million (£34 million) (plus Romelu Lukaku) that Juventus are seeking.

Gazzetta dello Sport states as much.

Let’s see what has changed recently regarding Dusan Vlahovic and Chelsea.

Why is this happening?

According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus is willing to let Chelsea get rid of Lukaku if they sign the Serbian international and pay €40 million (£34 million).

That’s because Vlahovic cost Juventus £66.6 million, and fans at the Allianz Stadium don’t think the Belgian international is worth enough to make up for that sum entirely.

Chelsea’s position on that offer has since become clear, though.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Blues are only prepared to spend £17 million on Vlahovic, which is half of what Juventus are asking for, with Lukaku moving in the opposite direction to Turin.

The 23-year-old would be ideal for Chelsea, according to Mauricio Pochettino, but that is despite Rudy Galetti’s report.

Despite having injury issues throughout the season, Vlahovic scored 14 goals in 42 appearances for Juventus last year.

The Chelsea position on the Lukaku/Vlahovic controversy is logical.

In our opinion, Chelsea is choosing wisely in this situation.

Spending £34 million on Vlahovic while also letting a £97,5 million investment in Lukaku leave as part of the deal would be bad business.

Juventus’ No. 9 makes £215,000 per week, so his pay won’t be cheap either.

Vlahovic might even fail his medical exam if an agreement is reached, according to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who has added another dramatic twist to the saga.

Despite Juventus’s £34 million asking price, Chelsea’s offer of £17 million and Lukaku is respectable but we don’t see them accepting it.

As negotiations between Chelsea and Juventus continue, be sure to keep an eye on this situation.

Due to Tino Livramento’s move to Newcastle, Chelsea will receive £20 million.

As of right now, the Magpies and Southampton have reached an agreement on a signing bonus for Livramento, according to talkSPORT.

The 20-year-old right back will cost Newcastle a total of £40 million in transfer fees, which will be split into an initial payment of £35 million and additional payments of £5 million.

Since Livramento is now officially a Saint, he won’t be included in the traveling Southampton team for tomorrow’s Championship opener against Sheffield Wednesday.

Due to a sell-on clause, it is believed that 50% of that sum will go to his former club Chelsea, who will profit by £20 million from the deal.

A release clause exists in Crystal Palace player Michael Olise’s contract, who Chelsea is interested in.

The existence of a release clause in Olise’s contract at Selhurst Park has been the subject of considerable misunderstanding.

But Fabrizio Romano has now acknowledged that his contract DOES contain a £35 million clause.

Manchester City and the Blues have both been showing interest in the winger this summer.

And Palace manager Roy Hodgson has acknowledged that there are teams “circling” his star player.

According to reports, before deciding whether to make an offer, Chelsea and Man City are both awaiting an update on Olise’s injury.

Legendary Chelsea player Gary Cahill has acknowledged that he admires Levi Colwill greatly.

The club’s official website quotes Cahill as saying, “You look at attributes you want in a centre-back and ask: Is he tall and good in the air? Is he good presence? Is he quick? Does he take up good positions to receive the ball? Is he composed on the ball? Levi Colwill has those attributes – now he must keep learning and progressing.”.

“He can be sure that the manager will assist him with that. The same goes for working with Thiago [Silva], who has accomplished so much in the game. He can learn from him and keep picking up new information.

“For him, this will be a big season. He has a ton of potential and is a very good player, based on what I’ve seen of him in training and during games. ”.

According to reports, Tyler Adams, a midfielder for Leeds, is a target for Chelsea.

According to The Athletic, the Blues are still in negotiations with Brighton regarding Moises Caicedo, so they are reportedly considering the possibility of signing USMNT star.

According to the report, Adams’ Leeds contract includes a release clause for relegation that is reportedly worth around £20 million.
