Chelsea keen on striking deal for Serie A striker

Chelsea are keen on finalising a suitable deal with Juventus for the transfer of Dusan Vlahovic.

The Serbian joined the Bianconeri from Fiorentina in January last year after scoring a stunning 37 goals in 12 months.

However, he has struggled to find the same level of consistency. He has managed only 23 goals in his time in Turin.

Hence, the Bianconeri are contemplating his summer exit and reports claim that Chelsea are front-runners to land him.

The Blues are reluctant to meet the £69m asking price for the striker and they are instead looking for a compromise.

They are ready to include one or two players as part of the move such that Vlahovic's price tag can be vastly reduced.

Juventus are yet to make a final decision on their proposal. They could be tempted to accept if there are no more offers.

Bayern Munich and Manchester United have also been linked with the striker, but neither have made a formal approach.
