This week, new Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli is heading to London to accelerate several market operations, and chief among them is the exchange deal with Chelsea concerning Romelu Lukaku and Dusan Vlahovic.
As we recently reported, the Bianconeri have revived the swap proposal. The management was hoping to sell Vlahovic for a hefty fee but is yet to receive concrete bids.
Therefore, adding the 23-year-old to the negotiations with the Blues remains their best bet at the moment.
According to famous Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the negotiations between Juventus and Chelsea are in full swing, as the two clubs have very few options but seeking an exchange between Vlahovic and Lukaku.
As the transfer expert explains, the West Londoners had initially dismissed the Old Lady’s proposal back in June. But at the time, they were still negotiating a deal with Inter for the Belgian, while a lucrative proposal from Saudi Arabia was also on the table.
But nowadays, the other tracks have evaporated, leaving Juventus as the main suitor for the 30-year-old.
Therefore, the two clubs are now working on finding the right formula for what has become an “almost obligatory” swap deal as Di Marzio describes it.
Since Vlahovic is considerably younger, Juventus will be looking to collect a figure between 30 and 35 million euros as the difference in market values between the two bombers.
We’ll surely witness some swift developments on this hot track.
Juve made in the past big mistakes(Henry),now they are ready to make one more (Vlachovic) and that because the manager (Alegri) dont want him.This manager have at most 6 months at the helm of the team,then he will sacked and the team will stay with a 30 years old forward who earns 12 mi per year and nobody wants him.Bravo Agneli family,i think it is time to sell the team….
Agree Dino. I am in total chock. Allegri should leave. We don’t need Lukaku. Old a finished.
Two seasons trophyless under the helm of Allegri and this season will become the third one. Admin What are you waiting for after these disappointments to get rid of the Mister?
Do not let us (fans) be ashame that we are loyal Juventini and not for cash.
Tell me I’m reading this wrong. New management is in talks to swap a 23 yr old striker for a 30 yr old who makes 12m dollars and has scored a total of 18 goals in 51 games since 2021, oh and by the way hates to play defense. Yep, sounds like a great deal concocted by a dinosaur coach. But of course Max will figure out how to make him play defense and see his goal total drop as well, if possible. This is a total reactionary move to make a move. Unbelievable!
Thought Lukaku could have got a good run under Poch, but maybe this is for the best for both clubs
This is insane. Please no.
Agree with all above
Losing Dusan for Lakaka will be one of the biggest mistakes this club would make in recent history. Agree with the guys above
I agree with all of the above. Dusan should not be swapped with Lukaku.
Why
exchange
not them with psg mbappe with vlahovic both win win situation ! for psg and juve them
better for both clubs
this is nonsense, would be the next step backwards for a team of Juventus’ stature
it would be more realistic if Allegri stepped down
I think the board allready and will continue to lose more money with sticking with this clown than if they would fire him months ago. Sad.
