French football journalist Jonathan Johnson has told CaughtOffside that PSG are interested in signing Dusan Vlahovic this summer.

Chelsea have been one of the sides reported to be interested in bringing in the Juventus man when the campaign comes to an end.

The Blues are in desperate need of a striker they can rely on to provide goals near enough every week.

In their dire run of form in recent months, goals have dried up for those up front.

The likes of Kai Havertz, Raheem Sterling and Mason Mount were not providing the goods before January, where Todd Boehly spent big on looking to address the problem.

The likes of Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke have been brought in to try and address the issue, however so far have only provided one solitary strike as a collective.

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seemingly exiled from the starting side, a striker will surely be on the radar at the end of the season.

Vlahovic wanted by PSG

It has been claimed that the club are interested in bringing in Vlahovic, who potentially could be forced out due to Juventus’ issues.

However, Johnson has claimed PSG could have something to say about the deal.

He said: “Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus is an interesting one. You’d assume Juventus are not going to be in Europe next season, certainly not the Champions League anyway, so there is going to be a lot of players leaving Turin in the summer and Vlahovic is certainly one that could leave.

“He’ll definitely be of interest to PSG, but they will be weary of how his form has dipped since joining one of Europe’s biggest clubs following his departure from Fiorentina.”

Despite a dip in form, his age suggests he certainly has room to grow as a striker.

Marcus Thuram is a striker that has previously been linked to Chelsea, and he will be available for free when the season comes to an end.
