Chelsea transfer news: £67m Blues target is not as happy under his current manager

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is reportedly growing unhappy in Turin.

Vlahovic, who joined Juventus for £67million in January 2022, is a talented attacker with 10 goals in 21 appearances so far this season.

The 23-year-old Serbian is a traditional No.9 with a significant physical presence and deadly finishing inside the penalty box.

However, speculation suggests not everything is right for him in Italy.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Vlahovic is someone that could be on the move this summer due to financial problems at Juventus.

It is explained that the centre-forward’s “not as happy” playing under manager Massimiliano Allegri as he was at previous club Fiorentina.

Jacobs told GiveMeSport: “Dusan Vlahovic is the other one I think to keep a really close eye on because there’s a real opportunity for a Premier League club to come in the summer and sign him from Juventus because there’s so much upheaval because their finances aren’t great.

“They are not likely now because of their 15 points deduction to make Champions League football and even though Max Allegri could well go at the end of the season, at the moment, Vlahovic, despite scoring goals, is not as happy playing under Allegri as he was in the Fiorentina system before he moved.”

Journalist Simon Phillips told GMS last month that Chelsea were considering a move in the January window for Vlahovic if they made enough player sales.

Unfortunately, Graham Potter’s side weren’t able to make a marquee signing in the No.9 position. They still had a crazy month for new recruits, though.

Despite the fact they’ve now got too many bodies in the squad at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea are still crying out for a goal machine to spearhead their attack.

In our view, Vlahovic is definitely one of the more interesting targets who’s been linked in the transfer rumour mill. On paper, he could suit the Premier League.
