Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is keen to recruit a new striker for his Chelsea squad, although the Blues also have a decision to make over Romelu Lukaku, who will return to Stamford Bridge this summer following his season-long loan at Inter Milan.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus’ sporting director, Giovanni Manna, travelled to London over the weekend for discussions with Tottenham Hotspur over a permanent deal for Dejan Kulusevski.

However, the report claims that Manna also spoke with Chelsea’s chiefs to discuss Vlahovic’s signing.

After missing out on Champions League football due to their 10-point deduction in Serie A, Juventus are open to selling Vlahovic in order to bolster their finances but are demanding an €80 million (£68.7million) transfer fee for the player.

Juve spent €75million (£62.8million) on signing Vlahovic from Fiorentina in January 2022.

Vlahovic, 23, has scored 23 goals in 63 appearances for the Old Lady so far.
