While Inter are on edge over Romelu Lukaku not replying to latest calls and messages, Chelsea could make a summer deal by taking advantage of the Belgium striker’s uncertain status.News comes from the Island this morning that Mauricio Pochettino has chosen the “no.9” for the next season and that is Dušan Vlahović! The reason why Lukaku could be directly involved in this story is simple – information from the Boot comes from last night that he is not contacting the people from Inter because he is pleased with the interest of Juventus.Dušan Vlahović will hardly stay in Turin, especially since it is known that the Old Lady will not play in Europe next season, and Chelsea could speed up the process of bringing him in if they included Lukaku in the whole process. Of course, that is if he wants it.##NAJAVA_MECA_7370851##Even if he doesn’t want to, the Blues will go for Vlahović’s signature. Chelsea have reportedly prepared the first official offer for the Serbian goalscorer. Pochettino wants to significantly strengthen the offensive part of the team and his goal is to have a real “no.9” at his disposal, similar to what he had in Tottenham in previous years with Harry Kane.Vlahović fits in perfectly, because he is one of the few top-class strikers whose status is unresolved. Max Allegri showed that he doesn’t know how to use the Serb in the right way, Vlahovic scored 14 goals in all competitions, but the fact is that he can do much more.Juventus are reportedly ready to talk, but only about a sale, not a loan or similar combinations. In recent days, it was mentioned in the French media that the Serbian striker is also a target of Paris Saint-Germain. However, Chelsea are ready to finish the job quickly, if the conditions are right.Lukaku deal situation 🇧🇪◉ Inter final bid: €35m plus €5m add ons.◉ Inter have still NO answer from Lukaku to close the deal.◉ Juventus sent €37.5m + €2.5m bid to Chelsea — but ONLY valid if they sell Vlahović.◉ Lukaku spoke to Juventus; Inter not happy with that. pic.twitter.com/CfqzSz1Wau— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 14, 2023 The club from West London has made a big purge so far, Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic and David Datro Fofana left from the attacking line, plus Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Eduard Mendy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, N’Golo Kante, Cesar Azpilicueta… So far, Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson have been signed for almost 100,000,000 euros together, but Vlahovic would be the first solution for the classic striker dilemma.
