Dusan Vlahovic 'would prefer to stay at Juventus despite Chelsea being willing to make offer of Romelu Lukaku plus £38.5m for striker'

Dusan Vlahovic would prefer to stay with Juventus rather than join Chelsea this summer, according to reports.

The 23-year-old forward is the subject of interest from the Blues, who are willing to offer out-of-favour striker Romelu Lukaku plus up to £38.5m to secure the Juventus star.

Chelsea have re-opened talks with Juventus over the sale of Lukaku, just two years after he returned to the club for a then club record £97.5m fee.

La Gazzetta dello Sport say the move is not one that Vlahovic asked for but he is aware it could happen and he would not oppose it.
