Juventus Racing to Complete Anticipated Offensive Moves

Juventus have only a few days to complete the domino they arranged involving Dusan Vlahovic and Romelu Lukaku. Director Cristiano Giuntoli asked Chelsea for a week to sell the Serb before lodging a formal bid, Corriere dello Sport informs.

The Bianconeri are ready to shell out €40M. Instead, the Belgian international would earn €9M plus €1M add-ons for the next three years. Their pursuit, and the marksman not rejecting it right away, caused Inter to walk away from the negotiation. They are dueling with Al-Hilal, which are offering €50M to the Blues and mammoth wages to the player. He has resisted the Saudi sirens so far.

Despite the hurdles, the odds of Juventus substituting Vlahovic with Lukaku are solid despite the strict timetable. On the other hand, the talks with PSG aren’t that advanced just yet, Marca informs (via TuttoSport).

The Ligue 1 side has come to terms with the Serb, while the discussions between sides have been preliminary. The ex-Fiorentina star is pushing to transfer. His entourage believes that the Old Lady won’t drive an excessively hard bargain.

Our Take on Juventus, Lukaku, and Vlahovic

If the reports are truthful, the Bianconeri forward is as good as gone regardless. Signing the ex-Nerazzurri ace would be a win-now move, but there are more interesting options at those prices. Still, messing with Inter is already a sound result.
