Juventus have resumed tracking Alvaro Morata as an alternative should the swap between Romelu Lukaku and Dusan Vlahovic fall through. The conversations with Chelsea are continuing, but there’s a sizeable gap about the fee, Corriere dello Sport relays.
The Bianconeri want €40/50M, while the Blues started low. However, both teams have a vested interest in coming to an understanding as the deal would solve their respective issues.
In the meantime, Juventus reprised considering a third reunion with Morata. Contrary to Roma, they would have no trouble activating his €21M release clause if they sold Vlahovic for €80M plus. The Spaniard has also been linked to Inter and Milan, but they opted for different targets.
Massimiliano Allegri played coy in his remarks, but he’s the main driving force behind the acquisition of the Belgian marksman. The coach believes he’ll be able to produce like in his heyday at Inter under him.
Our Take on Juventus, Vlahovic, Lukaku, and Morata
The trade with Chelsea only makes sense if they obtain a very fat check in return. The Atletico Madrid forward would be apt to replace Moise Kean and/or Arkadiusz Milik, but he’s not a good enough scorer to substitute for the Serb. Perhaps they’d sign two players at that point. The ideal scenario would be to collect enough money without selling the ex-Fiorentina man. There are slight hints of that.
