According to reports from Italy, Chelsea is in the lead in the competition to sign Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic, who is a target for Manchester United, and the Blues have just made a new offer.
Initially, the Stamford Bridge team was prepared to send Pulisic to entice the Serbian international, according to today’s edition of La Gazzetta Dello Sport (news image provided below).
In an effort to persuade the Old Lady to part with their star striker, Chelsea is now also making offers for players like Trevor Chalobah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Giovanni Manna, the sporting director for Juventus, travelled to London where the London club, who is in the front row to sign Vlahovic, presented him with the list of players (mentioned above).
Manna and head coach Allegri had a meeting yesterday to talk about how the Old Lady can benefit from the offer.
According to rumours, players like Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic could take Rabiot’s and Di Maria’s places, respectively. Due to contract expirations, the Serie A duo will be free to leave in one month.
Chalobah can be utilised, however, if Juve receive a sizable offer to sell Gleison Bremer, who is being watched by English clubs.
According to a Milan-based news source, the Bianconeri would prefer to sell Vlahovic for 80 million euros (£68.4 million) in cash during the summer transfer window.
Like Chelsea, Manchester United is in desperate need of a top-tier goal scorer and has been pursuing the Serbian for some time.
The Red Devils, who attempted to sign the Serbian in January, are gearing up for a new assault on him this summer, according to information released by Corriere dello Sport two days ago.
