English Premier League giants Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic from Italian club Juventus.
After spending time in the OFK Beograd academy, Dusan Vlahovic joined the Partisan youth setup at a young age.
Vlahovic then graduated from the Partizan academy and was promoted to the Serbian club’s main team. After his promotion to the main team, Vlahovic played two seasons for Partizan before moving to Serie A side Fiorentina.
After joining Fiorentina, the Serbian striker gradually became one of the best young strikers. He scored 21 goals in the 2020-21 season and received the Serie A best young player award. Vlahovic also continued his great goalscoring form the following year. The Serb was finally signed by Juventus in the last transfer market in January for a fee of 70 million euros.
Chelsea looking to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic
Now, according to a recent report from Sport Witness, English Premier League giants Chelsea are interested in bringing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic to Stamford Bridge.
Since the arrival of Todd Boehly, Chelsea are building a strong team. The Blues spent a lot of money in the last transfer window and secured a lot of players. However, they do not intend to stop here and will be buying multiple players again in the next window.
The Blues have reportedly secured Christopher Nukunku from RB Leipzig for next summer. And now they want to make another marquee signing up front. Thus began his interest in Dusan Vlahovic.
There is currently a shortage of suitable finishers in world football and, interestingly enough, Dusan Vlahovic belongs to that rare breed. For this reason, the Serbian has already aroused the interest of many other teams such as Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal.
Juventus, for its part, is not going through its best moment. The Bianconeri have failed to finish in the top three for the last two seasons. And again they are off to a very poor start to their current campaign.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side have won just two of their first eight games. They are currently in eighth position in the table with thirteen points. on top of that, they lost two of their first three matches in the UEFA Champions League.
However, despite all this, there is no interest on his part in selling the Serbian striker. Vlahovic has already scored six goals in all competitions this season. He is one of the best players in the entire Juventus squad. So it will be a very tough deal for Chelsea to land the youngster at Stamford Bridge.
Whats Next?
Juventus will face Maccabi Haifa in their next match. Meanwhile, Chelsea will face AC Milan in their next outing.
