Without a European Cup next season, Juventus must clearly prepare to lose their Serbian international striker Dusan Vlahovic during this summer transfer window. If the former resident of Fiorentina is still part of the Turin workforce, the club is already thinking of his replacement and the leaders are making great strides in this file. It is to Romelu Lukaku that the Old Lady turns.
According to information from ‘Sky Sport’, Juventus is now on pole for the arrival of the Belgian international striker during this summer transfer window. Wishing to keep the player for the coming season, Inter Milan would have finally thrown in the towel in this case because Lukaku still belongs to the Chelsea Blues and the negotiations between the different parties are very delicate. In addition, Lukaku has already established contacts with other clubs, including Juventus and this attitude does not pass within the staff of the Nerazzurri.
A special case because Juventus would have made a first offer to Chelsea and it is 37.5 million euros plus 2.5 million euros in bonuses that the Bianconeri are offering, while the Belgian seems rather agreement to wear the Turin colors next season. The Italian media go further and a privileged contact would exist between Chelsea and Juve. An agreement until August 4 with Chelsea since the bianconeri would only take the Belgian in the event of the sale of Vlahovic still in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain. La Gazzetta says that at the same time Juventus is ready to offer a very large salary of €12.5 million per year for the 30-year-old center forward.
Giuntoli wants it to hit hard
New sporting director of Juventus, Cristiano Giuntoli is a fan of the profile of the striker, recent finalist of the Champions League with Inter Milan. In addition, Max Allegri also seems to like the profile of the Belgian and it is true that the latter could better suit the minimalist tactics of the coach of the Old Lady with a very physical attacker who knows the championship well.
If Lukaku comes out of an average season, he has all the qualities necessary to relaunch at Juventus only if Vlahovic were to pack his bags in the coming weeks. ‘Big Rom’ as he is nicknamed sees his contract with the Chelsea Blues run until June 2026…
