Chelsea weigh up move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic as Mauricio Pochettino eyes more firepower

Chelsea are weighing up a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.

The Serbia international is also on PSG's list this summer.

New Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino wants more ammunition up top, with the west London side putting out feelers regarding a number of attacking options.

Serbia international Vlahovic scored 14 goals in all competitions last season and Mail Sport previously reported that Juventus are reportedly willing to let him go for just £21million - provided Chelsea include Romelu Lukaku in a swap deal.

Juventus are thought to want £77m for the 23-year-old, a price that might be difficult for Chelsea to justify without European football to boost their bottom line.

The Old Lady are also insistent on a sale, not a potential loan move.

Vlahovic made 27 Serie A appearances for Juventus last season, scoring ten league goals. He is currently under contract until 2026, after being signed for £66m last summer from Fiorentina.

PSG are also thought to be in the race to sign Vlahovic, which could prove to be a more attractive offer to the Serbian, as they fight for Champions League glory.

The French side will also be eager to retain their Ligue 1 trophy on a national level, despite the exit of Lionel Messi and rumours circulating about the future of Kylian Mbappe.

Chelsea have already been busy making additions to their forward line this summer.

In June, they confirmed the signing of Christopher Nkunku for a £53m fee from RB Leipzig on the back of 58 goals in the last two seasons.

Right at the end of the month, they unveiled Nicolas Jackson as their next forward addition on a £32m deal from Villarreal.

The 22-year-old scored nine goals in his last eight games of the 2022-23 season.
