Romelu Lukaku has reportedly agreed to a three-year contract with Juventus, but the transfer depends on Dusan Vlahovic’s move to Chelsea.
Chelsea eye Vlahovic as a valuable acquisition to bolster their attacking options but aren’t ready to pay the €50 million (£43m/$54.60m) asking price. However, it is understood that Juventus are willing to negotiate and could settle for €40m (£34.5m/$43.69m) as they are eager to finalise the deal.
Juventus are looking to balance their books and want to squeeze as much as they can from Chelsea by selling Vlahovic. Coach Massimiliano Allegri admitted that if the deal goes through it will be due to the club’s financial needs.
The negotiations between the two clubs continue to bring Lukaku to Turin and secure Vlahovic’s move to Chelsea. However, the Belgian had recently appeared to downplay suggestions that he’s heading to Turin which has further fuelled speculation about his future.
