Chelsea’s striking dilemma: A potential winter transfer coup
Fabrizio Romano, a famous football transfer specialist, has revealed a possibly game-changing possibility for Chelsea in the coming January transfer window.
According to his exclusive Daily Briefing column, Italian giants Juventus are still open to the prospect of parting ways with Serbian wonder Dusan Vlahovic if the appropriate deal comes along.
“Some fans have asked me about the situation around Dusan Vlahovic, as there was some talk of him leaving in the summer, although it’s been more quiet recently. My understanding is that the reason it’s quiet for now is because the situation is very much the same as last summer – Vlahovic is not considered one of the untouchable players at Juventus, but they want big money for him or they’d still be happy with him staying as happened in August,” Romano said.
“It’s also worth remembering that even in the summer, despite many stories, it was never that concrete for Vlahovic to leave Juve. Chelsea didn’t see the Serbian striker as a priority target, and were only ready to pursue a deal under the right conditions – a straight swap involving Romelu Lukaku, with no money changing hands.
“However, this wasn’t acceptable for Juventus, and so things never advanced from there. Let’s see if this changes in January, but for now there are no developments on this story.”
While Chelsea’s pursue of Vlahovic stalled during the summer transfer window, new developments suggest the Premier League team may be reconsidering its interest in the prolific striker.
According to Romano, Chelsea is in desperate need of attacking reinforcements, with a new striker at the top of their wish list.
While Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney have dominated transfer rumors, the potential availability of Vlahovic at a fair price could shift the spotlight back to the promising Serbian.
Chelsea fans will surely be watching to see how this unexpected twist in the transfer story plays out as the January transfer window approaches.
