Chelsea are among the clubs interested in signing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in the summer transfer window. The Blues have joined Arsenal and Manchester United in the race for the Serbian who reportedly wants to leave Juventus ahead of next season.
Vlahovic scored 14 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions for the Italian club last term and is considered to be among the elite strikers in Europe. Vlahovic joined Juve in January 2022 following a prolific spell with Fiorentina after snubbing a switch to the Premier League to join Arsenal.
Vlahovic racked up an impressive record for Fiorentina before completing a £66million move to Juventus, scoring 49 goals in 108 appearances. However, the Serbia international could now leave the Italian giants this summer as interest from the Premier League continues to grow.
The 23-year-old still has three years remaining on his current contract with Juventus, but could be heading for the Allianz Stadium exit. According to Calciomercato, Vlahovic is eager for a new experience and his agent Darko Ristic has held talks with United, Arsenal and Chelsea over a potential move to England.
Juventus are in a strong position to demand a huge transfer fee to let the 23-year-old leave the club. The Italian outfit could be open to selling their star striker, but want a whopping £77million fee to part ways with Vlahovic.
A formal approach is yet to be made by any of the three clubs interested in the Serbian and it is unclear as to whether Juve would be willing to lower their asking price to facilitate a move for Vlahovic - given his desire to leave the club. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have also been linked with a move for the Juve star.

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. Let’s keep an eye also on Bayern Munich, who have Vlahovic at the top of their list along with Harry Kane.”
