“New contacts” – Chelsea will talk again with club to seal transfer, next hours could be decisive
Earlier today, we reported on the updates provided by Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport regarding the potential transfer deal involving Romelu Lukaku’s departure from Chelsea to Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic’s move in the opposite direction.
To meet the valuation of the younger Serbian player, additional funds would be included alongside Lukaku’s fee. This aspect has been a point of contention due to Vlahovic’s potential and long-term investment value compared to the Chelsea striker.
A recent update from Sport Mediaset in Italy indicates that fresh discussions are set to take place between Chelsea and Juventus. These talks aim to finalize the deal and reach an agreement, symbolized by the coveted ‘white smoke.’
The lines of communication between London and Turin are intensifying, and the next few hours are deemed crucial in this negotiation process.
Chelsea and Juventus are poised to engage in renewed dialogue to progress the transfer deal. Mauricio Pochettino and the entire Chelsea team have expressed interest in acquiring Vlahovic’s talents.
However, Cristiano Giuntoli continues to advocate for an additional €40 million alongside Lukaku’s transfer, while Chelsea’s offer has not exceeded €30 million thus far.
As a result, it is believed that a potential compromise may be on the horizon, with €35 million being a potential middle ground that could pave the way for an agreement.
