This summer, there have been rumors that Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic will leave the Italian team.

Atletico Madrid and Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the 23-year-old Serbian international this summer, according to a report from Fichajes.

If a club is prepared to pay €80 million for him, it appears that the Italian organization will approve his transfer.

It’s unclear if Chelsea will be willing to spend that much money on the Serbian striker. Vlahovic could be a fantastic option for the Blues to lead the line as they desperately need a reliable goalscorer.

The Serbian has the potential to become a premier league player, so Mauricio Pochettino needs to spend this summer on a quality striker.

He managed to score 14 goals in all competitions last season despite a lackluster stint at Juventus.

Vlahovic has the physicality and skills to succeed in the Premier League, and a coach like Pochettino might be able to bring out his best side once more.

During his time at Florentina, the striker was regarded as a top-tier prospect, and he has the potential to grow into a productive forward.

At this point in his career, a transfer away from Juventus might be ideal for him. He could regain his form and confidence at Stamford Bridge with a new start.

However, given that the player hasn’t been at his best in over a year, the reported asking price seems quite high. As a result, Juventus will need to lower their demands for the deal to be approved.

Chelsea hit their ‘transfer deadline day’ as £175m raised with seven more departure to come

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has overseen a huge effort to sack players before the end of the month.

As June draws to a close, Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has finally reached his ‘transfer deadline’. The Blues have been in a hurry to try and make ends meet having spent the last two transfer windows, and while they have already raised a large sum through player sales, more money could be on the way.

Chelsea tore up the regulation last summer and repeated the feat in January, breaking the record for the amount spent by a club in a single window twice in 12 months.

An outlay of around £600m has always had to be compensated for and the Blues have already sacked several players this summer. And that’s a good thing, with June 30 being the cut-off point for player sales to be included in their accounts for 2022/23.

Also included in these bills are the huge fees spent on the likes of Enzo Fernandez, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling.

With the urgency surrounding player sales making the end of the month Chelsea’s mini ‘deadline day’, Boehly and company will be pleased to see that a number of high-profile players have already departed.

In total, around £120m was raised through the sale of Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly and Edouard Mendy. Meanwhile, N’Golo Kante is sleeping at Al-Ittihad after completing a free transfer and Tiemoue Bakayoko has been released to ease pressure on his wage bill.

That sum will soon be increased by the sale of Mason Mount to Manchester United as the two clubs finally agreed a guaranteed transfer fee of £55m on Thursday. After struggling with a bloated roster last season, more departures are on the horizon.

Among the seven players most likely to leave before the start of next season, the departures of Hakim Ziyech and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang appear to be a matter of form.

The former reportedly agreed to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, while the latter endured a torrid season at Stamford Bridge and certainly has no future under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Chelsea are open to selling Callum Hudson-Odoi this summer and there is no shortage of interest from the Premier League and abroad, while Romelu Lukaku appears keen to stay at Inter Milan.

Elsewhere, Christian Pulisic and Cesar Azpilicueta are reportedly on the chopping block as Pochettino looks to streamline his squad and Boehly tries to balance the score.

The seventh and final name is Conor Gallagher, whose future is left up in the air. Pochettino is reportedly keen to work with the player but the club would be inclined to accept the right size offer given existing options in midfield.
