Reports indicate that Romelu Lukaku has allegedly agreed to a three-year contract with Juventus, pending the outcome of Dusan Vlahovic’s potential transfer to Chelsea.
Juventus, the Serie A giants, have a strong interest in acquiring the services of the Belgian striker.
Yet, this move is contingent upon Vlahovic’s departure from Juventus.
As per Di Marzio, the two clubs are actively engaged in discussions to orchestrate a swap deal that would involve the exchange of these two forwards.
Meanwhile, Lukaku has already reached an agreement on personal terms with the Bianconeri.
He is poised to sign a three-year contract, inclusive of an option for an additional year.
Chelsea has set their sights on Vlahovic as a valuable addition to enhance their attacking options.
However, they are hesitant to meet the €50 million (£43m/$54.60m) asking price.
Conversely, Juventus seems open to negotiation and may accept a reduced fee of €40m (£34.5m/$43.69m), given their eagerness to finalize the arrangement.
Juventus aims to address their financial situation and seeks to maximize their gains by selling Vlahovic.
Coach Massimiliano Allegri acknowledged that the deal’s completion is intertwined with the club’s financial considerations.
Ongoing negotiations between the two clubs are striving to bring Lukaku to Turin and secure Vlahovic’s shift to Chelsea.
Yet, Lukaku has recently appeared to downplay suggestions of his imminent move to Turin, fueling further speculation about his future.
