In a bid to assess the seriousness of Chelsea’s interest in Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, reportedly flew to London, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Blues have been persistent in their pursuit of the Serbian striker and have even proposed a swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku, a player highly coveted by Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri.
However, the Turin-based club is standing firm, demanding a fee of €60-70 million for Vlahovic, with the possibility of including Casadei in the negotiation.
While Chelsea remains a strong contender for Vlahovic’s signature, they are not the only club vying for his services.
Tottenham Hotspur has also expressed interest in the talented center-forward. Additionally, in recent hours, Paris Saint-Germain has rekindled their interest in Vlahovic, adding another potential bidder to the mix.
Juventus, hoping to capitalize on the competition, is optimistic about triggering a bidding war for the Serbian striker.
Giuntoli’s visit to London serves a dual purpose. Apart from exploring Chelsea’s interest in Vlahovic, he will also listen to potential suitors for Federico Chiesa, the highly-rated winger.
Juventus is keen to make progress on the sales of Denis Zakaria, Weston McKennie, and Arthur as well, and the trip will provide an opportunity to discuss potential deals for these players.
The negotiations surrounding Vlahovic’s future have intensified, with multiple clubs vying for his signature.
Juventus is determined to secure the best possible deal for the talented striker. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest in Lukaku adds an intriguing twist to the situation, as Allegri dreams of having the Belgian hitman leading the line for Juventus.
