Romelu Lukaku and Dusan Vlahovic could reportedly be traded between Chelsea and Juventus as early as this week.
As new owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali continue to bolster Mauricio Pochettino’s side, the Blues have added Axel Disasi, Robert Sanchez, Lesley Ugochukwu, Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Angelo, and Diego Moreira this summer.
This summer, 13 players left the club on a permanent basis as Pochettino sought to trim down the team. The Argentinian gaffer is said to be content to manage a core group of 23 players.
The £97.5 million deal with Inter Milan brought the Belgian star back to the club in 2021. But last season, he was loaned out to the Serie A giants. Following a poor second stint with the Premier League side.
This summer, there were rumors that Inter might permanently sign him. But they apparently lost interest when they learned he was in negotiations with Juventus, their Italian rivals, at the same time.
According to Gazetta Dello Sport as cited by Football 365, the Serie A giants are now willing to let Vlahovic go in the opposite direction. Provided Chelsea offer cash along with Lukaku, making a trade to Juve the most likely possibility right now.
The Old Lady allegedly sought €50 million and Lukaku in exchange for Vlahovic. But a report from last week indicated that they are now OK with €40 million.

Although Juve have ‘agreed’ that the deal would be advantageous. And have ‘started negotiating’ with Chelsea. There is still a void in the talks.
Despite the fact that Chelsea still need to “financially satisfy” Juventus. Gazzetta is sure that “the deal will be done” and the transfer will be completed “as early as this week.”
