Vlahovic would prefer to stay at Juventus despite of Chelsea's offer

Dusan Vlahovic would prefer to stay with Juventus rather than join Chelsea this summer, according to reports.

The 23-year-old forward is the subject of interest from the Blues, who are willing to offer out-of-favour striker Romelu Lukaku plus up to £38.5m to secure the Juventus star.

Chelsea have re-opened talks with Juventus over the sale of Lukaku, just two years after he returned to the club for a then club record £97.5m fee.

La Gazzetta dello Sport say the move is not one that Vlahovic asked for but he is aware it could happen and he would not oppose it.

The report adds that Vlahovic, who scored in Thursday's pre-season victory over Real Madrid, wants to make it clear that a move to Chelsea would be the decision of Juve and not his.

If he was to leave the Italian giants then Paris Saint-Germain would be his preference.

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has admitted that the club would consider 'impossible to refuse bids' for their Serbian striker.

Allegri, is content with his current squad at Juventus, but admitted the club could be forced into a decision over Vlahovic if the offer is good enough.

As per Fabrizio Romano, the Juventus boss said: 'I'm happy with the players we have but impossible to refuse bids will be evaluated due to the financial situation.

'I will adapt to the club's choice, as always.'

Juventus were hit with an initial 15-point deduction by the Italian Football Federation in January for 'financial irregularities' and 'false accounting' in relation to past transfer dealings.

Those points were restored on appeal, but the Bianconeri eventually had 10 points taken away - dropping them out of the Champions League places.

Their seventh place finish was still enough to entitle them a spot in the Europa
