Chelsea are reportedly weighing up a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. Mail Sport reported how Christopher Nkunku has grown frustrated at his lack of game time and that he could be offloaded to Bayern Munich, so the Blues are eyeing replacements.

Vlahovic joined Juventus from Fiorentina for £62million in January 2022 and he has since scored 53 goals in 125 games. He reportedly earns just short of £10m per season and Juventus, fifth in Serie A, are eager to reduce their wage bill. The Times reports that Chelsea are considering a bid for him while they talk about sending defender Gabri Veiga in the opposite direction.

Veiga joined Chelsea from Basel for £12m over the summer but has only made one league appearance. Chelsea are reportedly considering a move for Juventus' main striker Dusan Vlahovic. That is because Christoper Nkunku could return to germany after growing frustrated with his lack of game time.

Vlahovic joined Juventus for £62million in 2022 but his contract expires in 18 months. Juventus want him as a stand-in for Gleison Bremer, who is out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, and The Times claims Chelsea want around £29m for him. Signing Vlahovic would certainly be a statement of intent from Chelsea but offloading Nkunku would mark a sad ending to the highly rated Frenchman's time in English football.
Nkunku was signed from RB Leipzig for £52m in 2023 and is currently tied down to a deal that lasts until 2029. He could now be set for a return to the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich if they are willing to stump up in excess of £60m as Chelsea would like.
