Chelsea reopen talks to sign former Arsenal target
Chelsea have reopened talks to sign former Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus.
The Serbian was linked with the Blues earlier this summer, and they were claims that they could use Romelu Lukaku as a makeweight to sign him.
The Blues turned down the proposal from the Bianconeri, but it is now reported that they are reconsidering the option of signing the 23-year-old.
Juventus are determined to sell Vlahovic after being banned from participating in European football next season due to a FFP breach.
They currently value him in the region of €65m. If Chelsea are interested, they may need to pay around €30m and include Lukaku as part of the move.
Lukaku has already agreed personal terms with the Bianconeri, but Juventus are only willing to sign him if Vlahovic leaves the club.
Arsenal are also long-term admirers of Vlahovic. He turned them down for Juventus in January last year. It is unlikely that they will return for him.
