Chelsea are hoping to sign 23-year-old Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus this summer, with his price tag being €80 million.
According to Rudy Galetti, Dusan Vlahovic will cost €80 million this summer. And Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino considers the Juventus striker as the ideal option to strengthen his frontline.
Chelsea are now planning fresh talks to sign the 23-year-old striker this summer. And it will be interesting to see if they can secure an agreement with Juventus. €80 million seems like a premium price to pay. So it remains to be seen whether Chelsea are prepared to break the bank for the player.
The Serbian striker scored 14 goals across all competitions last season, and he could prove to be a useful acquisition for Chelsea. The Blues need to improve their attacking options this summer and they need a reliable goalscorer.
Vlahovic has certainly proven his quality in Serie A with Florentina and Juventus. He has the technical and physical attributes to succeed in English football as well. And working with a top-class manager like Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea could help the young striker improve further.

The 23-year-old was regarded as a world-class talent during his time at Florentina, and he has massive potential. Even if Chelsea end up paying €80 million for the Serbian international, he has the potential to justify the investment in the long run.
Chelsea have been extremely active in the transfer market since the change of ownership, and they have spent significant sums of money to improve their squad. However, they had a disappointing 2022/23 season as they finished 12th in the league table.
The West London club will be looking to bounce back strongly and challenge for trophies once again next term. Pursuing players like Vlahovic will certainly help Chelsea rise up the table in the upcoming season.
The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be an exciting option for the player and he could be keen on a fresh start after an underwhelming spell with Juventus. The 23-year-old has not been able to live up to the expectations at the Italian club and moving to Chelsea could help him regain his confidence and sharpness.
