Chelsea transfer news – Chelsea “appreciate” Dusan Vlahovic

According to an update from the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea “appreciate” Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus. However, they are yet to make a formal bid for the Serbian international. More on him below.

Chelsea transfer news – Juventus offer Vlahovic in a swap deal

Given Chelsea’s interest in Vlahovic, Juventus have offered him to Stamford Bridge in a move which might suit Mauricio Pochettino. According to Football London, the Old Lady will offer the striker to Chelsea in return for Romelu Lukaku and £21.4m.

This could be an unreal swap deal should Chelsea choose to follow through. It would benefit all parties, since both Lukaku and Vlahovic want moves away. Further, Chelsea would be getting a huge upgrade and a fresh starter for Pochettino. One for them to consider, for sure.

Chelsea transfer news – Christian Pulisic in Italy for medical tests

Another update from Fabrizio Romano shows that Christian Pulisic, the latest player to leave Chelsea, is in Italy to undergo medical tests this week. After the USMNT star’s transfer request was granted last week, he is all but confirmed to leave Chelsea.

Selling a player is never a nice feeling but this is what Chelsea need. Pulisic, unfortunately, goes down as a flop. He is deadwood and it’s good that Pochettino is showing him the exit door early on.
