Juventus want Romelu Lukaku, and Chelsea wants to sell him. The London club wants Dušan Vlahović, and the Turin club could consider the sale at a good price. The solution seems simple, but when it comes to football transfers, especially around top-quality players, the solution is rarely easy and without complications. This was the speculated outcome for weeks regarding both Belgian and Serbian attackers, but it seems that we could soon get an answer. Transfer ’guru’ Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Blues have finally given the ’green light’ to the proposal in which Juventus will send them the promising Serbian striker (and once an Arsenal target), and they will send Lukaku and cash in the opposite direction.Chelsea are open to the idea of a swap deal sending Romelu Lukaku to Juventus for Dušan Vlahović, per @DiMarzio 🔄 pic.twitter.com/d22agdZH6B— B/R Football (@brfootball) July 31, 2023 Chelsea initially rejected such an offer and Inter – before they found out that Lukaku was simultaneously negotiating with Juventus – was asked to pay between 40,000,000 and 50,000,000 euros for the return of the Belgian to Giuseppe Meazza. In Turin, they are explicit in their decision that if they already release Vlahović after only one and a half years at the club, they will return the greater part of the 80 million euros they paid to Fiorentina in January 2022. But it will not be some astronomical figure, considering that they will get Lukaku, and the Italian media are speculating that it would be around 40 million.Lukaku conundrum: Chelsea preparing an offer for VlahovićVlahović played 27 matches in the black and white jersey last season, in which he scored ten goals and assisted two. He would have played more if he had not had a problem with injuries, especially on the eve of the World Cup in Qatar. As many as four different injuries plagued him during the season, which caused him to miss 13 games. In addition, it was mentioned that the 23-year-old former Partizan Belgrade striker could join the mighty Paris Saint-Germain this summer. At one point, it even seemed like a realistic option, but in Paris, they turned to Kolo Muani after they failed to bring Kane and Hojlund.Emergency recruitment leads Chelsea to Monte CarloVlahović certainly did not live up to his price tag since arriving in Juventus but was projected as a starter in the upcoming Serie A season, along with finally fit Federico Chiesa. However, after the expulsion of Juventus from Europe and the generally shaky financial situation of the club last winter, it became clear that Vlahovic would continue his career outside Turin. The only question is, will Chelsea stop their transfer spree or will they give another 40 million, this time for the Serbian international?##NAJAVA_MECA_7395771##
