Update on the Dusan Vlahovic to Chelsea transfer: Allegri demand, Lukaku swap, wage issue, and PSG contact.

Although Nicolas Jackson has already been added to Mauricio Pochettino’s frontline, Dusan Vlahovic has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea this summer.

In the upcoming summer transfer window, Dusan Vlahovic and Romelu Lukaku may switch teams. A player and cash swap agreement is currently being negotiated between Chelsea and Juventus.

After only 18 months with the Italian powerhouse, Vlahovic is willing to leave Juventus during the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old striker turned down a move to the Premier League to sign with Arsenal and instead joined Juve in January 2022 after a productive stint with Fiorentina.

He was one of the top strikers in Europe last season for the Italian club, scoring 14 goals in 42 games across all competitions. Following Inter Milan’s withdrawal from the race to sign Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain are now interested in signing Vlahovic ahead of the upcoming season. Juve is also pursuing a deal to sign Chelsea star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

So, football it is.
London has looked at the most recent developments in the Serbian forward’s transfer saga; among the clubs interested in signing the 23-year-old are Chelsea and Arsenal.

Demand from Allegri.

According to Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus would find it “impossible to reject bids” for Dusan Vlahovic. He declared: “I’m satisfied with the players we have, but it’s impossible to reject offers because of the financial situation. As usual, I will adjust to the club’s decision. “.

£50m demand
Italian newspaper Tuttosport reports that Juve are now asking for £50 million in cash as part of the deal that would see Vlahovic leave Turin after only 18 months and move to Stamford Bridge with Lukaku going to Italy.

Juve is currently seeking to raise a sizeable sum of money after being hit with a £17 million fine for breaking Financial Fair Play regulations. There won’t be any European football available in Turin next season as a result of the Italian giants’ expulsion from the UEFA Conference League.

Talk about a swap.

Chelsea has rekindled their interest in Vlahovic, according to Fabrizio Romano, and is currently in communication with Juventus through intermediaries. According to the report, a potential trade involving Romelu Lukaku has been brought up again after being passed over earlier this summer.

Issue with wage demand.

Although Vlahovic’s merits were discussed internally at Chelsea, his salary was deemed to be prohibitive and too high, according to Mail Sport. This may be the reason why the Blues’ efforts to negotiate a deal with Juventus for the Serbian striker have stalled.

Capology claims that Vlahovic is currently making around £214,000 per week at the Italian company. The current contract of the 23-year-old won’t end until 2026.

Chelsea will be “passed” by Spurs.

If Harry Kane leaves Tottenham this summer, it is said that Tottenham Hotspur will ‘overtake’ both Chelsea and PSG in their pursuit of Dusan Vlahovic.

In the event that the England captain decides to join Bayern Munich, Spurs have reportedly identified the former Fiorentina striker as their top target.

PSG contact 

Paris Saint-Germain have made their first major move in the transfer race with Chelsea for Dusan Vlahovic.

Fabrizio Romano, a transfer expert, asserts that PSG is aware of what it will take to sign the Juventus star as a result of earlier this week’s “direct contact” regarding a summer transfer.

player preference

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain appear to be engaged in a transfer war over Dusan Vlahovic, but one club appears to be clearly ahead.

Alfredo Pedulla reports that Serbian is interested in joining PSG and that he is awaiting the Parisians’ first formal offer because Juventus has already ruled out the possibility of a loan and an option to buy.

There were no formal negotiations.

Contrary to some reports, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says Chelsea and Juventus have not yet entered into formal negotiations for the transfer of Dusan Vlahovic.

Speaking to the Mark Goldbridge That’s Football YouTube channel, he said: “Chelsea have always valued Dusan Vlahovic, but there is currently no negotiation at all between Vlahovic and Chelsea.

“I’m sure it will take some time before they sign a new striker, if they do sign a new striker at all, because that is not at all guaranteed. “.

There has been communication.

Chelsea has taken a small step toward possibly signing Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, so the Serb will undoubtedly be on Mauricio Pochettino’s striker transfer short list.

Elye Wahi of Montpellier and Vlahovic have already been in contact with the Blues, according to the Evening Standard.

Chelsea established a price cap.

Dusan Vlahovic is one of the striker options on Chelsea’s summer transfer wish list although the Juventus star could cost a hefty fee.

The Blues, who are likely aware of this, have stated they will not pay more than €60 million (£51 point 5 million) for his acquisition, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

preference for Bayern.

Vlahovic’s agent, Darko Ristic, reportedly expects Bayern Munich to sign his client this summer, according to Calciomercato. Despite interest from the Premier League, the report claims that the Serbian is also being guided towards Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.

Vlahovic’s replacement.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus is prepared to reach an agreement with Atalanta for the signing of Rasmus Hojlund if the Serbian is offloaded. The 20-year-old striker will reportedly be taken into consideration after the Old Lady’s valuation for Vlahovic is satisfied, according to the report.

Chelsea makes a bid.

Following the arrival of Jackson from Villarreal this summer, Pochettino is still searching for a new forward, according to a report from Italian news outlet Corriere della Sera, who claims that Chelsea have made their first attempt to sign Vlahovic. According to the report, Juve turned down a bid from Stamford Bridge for the former Fiorentina player worth €60 million (£51 1.5 million).

Position of Vlahovic.

Calciomercato reports that Darko Ristic, Vlahovic’s agent, has discussed a potential move to England with United, Arsenal, and Chelsea. Vlahovic is eager for a new experience. Juventus is well-positioned to demand a hefty transfer fee in order to allow the 23-year-old to leave the team.

The Italian team may be willing to let go of their star striker, but they’d demand a hefty £77 million price tag to do so.

“Serious interest,”.

Juventus is anticipated to consider offers before making a final decision on the striker’s future, according to Italian football agent Massimo Brambati. There were three teams present, according to a TMW Radio interview with Brambati.

“Juventus will, in my opinion, take these offers seriously. Because they are Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid, they all have a distinguished profile.

“I don’t know if the capital gain [on Juventus’ initial £66.6million investment] will be made, but after a year and a half with Vlahovic, they’ve already amortized a year’s gross salary and a good portion of the amount invested too. “.

At Juventus, not happy.

Due to an investigation into the club’s alleged financial misconduct, Juventus may be subject to severe sporting sanctions, which could result in the departure of some of the team’s top players. Ben Jacobs has revealed that Vlahovic, 23, is not content at the team, which is another reason he might leave in January.

The fact that Vlahovic isn’t believed to be particularly content under Max Allegri, he said, is more significant than the actual sporting sanctions. Therefore, I believe that he is open to moving, and Juventus is also quite willing to consider offers. We’ll have to wait and see what happens. ”.

United enters the race.

Erik ten Hag wants to replace Cristiano Ronaldo in January, so Manchester United has entered the race to sign Vlahovic. The Red Devils, along with Chelsea, PSG, and Bayern Munich, are allegedly Arsenal’s rivals, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Edu will have a difficult time winning over Cody Gakpo because United and the Gunners are set to compete for the PSV forward.

Gunners position.

Before the Serbian striker’s January transfer to Turin, which has so far been successful, the Gunners were reportedly interested in signing him.

According to Express Sport, this appears to be a non-starter given the issues they encountered when trying to sign the desired player during the previous January transfer window. A move to north London, at least in the short term, will be highly unlikely as it appears that the striker’s representatives passed over Arsenal in negotiations in favor of a £62 million move to Juventus.

However, as Mikel Arteta revealed following their recent friendly victory over AC Milan, “We are looking and we are very active looking at the possibilities. We will try to strengthen the team if we can find the players to do so. “.

“Contact” from Arsenal.

Dusan Vlahovic’s representatives have reportedly spoken to Arsenal about a potential transfer in January. According to reports from Italy, the Arsenal have gotten in touch with the striker’s agents to discuss a potential deal for January. According to Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, Arteta’s team is just one of many considering what the striker’s future holds as it remains unclear whether he will remain with Juventus.

According to the report, private discussions are said to have happened during the World Cup, where Vlahovic scored in his country’s 3-2 loss to Switzerland.
