Chelsea dealt Dusan Vlahovic transfer blow as Juventus respond to £51m offer

Chelsea have been dealt a huge blow in their pursuit of Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker is reportedly considering leaving the Italian giants this summer with the Blues among the clubs interested in signing the 23-year-old.

Mauricio Pochettino is keen on signing a new striker despite the arrivals of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson this summer. Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has revealed that Pochettino sees Vlahovic as the perfect man to lead the line under his stewardship.

Galetti told GIVEMESPORT: “The Blues could make a concrete move for the Serbian, especially because the next manager, [Mauricio] Pochettino, considers Dusan the ideal striker for his tactical idea. The player likes the destination and reaching an agreement on personal terms wouldn’t be a problem."
