Chelsea are reportedly linked with a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, with the Blues ready to offer Kalidou Koulibaly in the deal.
Dusan Vlahovic could leave Juventus the end of the season. And a report from Calciomercatoweb claims that Chelsea and ready to provide him with an exit route. The Blues are reportedly plotting a player plus cash offer to sign the Serbian international.
Chelsea could offer defender Kalidou Koulibaly along with €50 million in cash for the 23-year-old striker this summer. It is no secret that Chelsea will have to bring in a quality goalscorer this summer. And Vlahovic could solve their goal-scoring problems next year. The Blues have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, and the 23-year-old could prove to be a wise addition.
Chelsea have improved their squad significantly over the last couple of transfer windows. But they are still in need of a reliable finisher. Although the 23-year-old Serbian striker has not lived up to expectations at Juventus, he remains a top-quality player with immense potential.
The former Fiorentina ace has the technical and physical attributes to thrive in English football, and he could be a key player for Chelsea in the coming seasons. There have been rumours of a €80 million bid for the player recently.

The Blues are expected to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s new manager. And the Argentine could get the best out of Vlahovic at Stamford Bridge. The 51-year-old manager has done well to nurture talented young players throughout his managerial career, and he could help the Serbian fulfil his tremendous potential.
Despite not being at his best, Vlahović has scored 14 goals across all competitions for the Italian club this season, which suggests that he has the potential to be an elite goal scorer in the right team. Given the amount of creativity and quality at Chelsea’s disposal, Vlahovic could thrive on the chances created by their midfielders and he could score goals consistently at Stamford Bridge.
It will be interesting to see if Juventus are willing to accept a player plus cash offer for the striker in the summer. Kalidou Koulibaly joined Chelsea from Napoli at the start of the season. But he has struggled to adapt to English football. His performances have been rather underwhelming. So it is no surprise that Chelsea are looking to get rid of him after just one season at the club.
