Juventus close to Lukaku but must sell Vlahovic

Romelu Lukaku is a dot of Max Allegri. The coach wants to take him away from Inter to add him to his chessboard and – according to the latest reports – at least the first objective seems to have already been achieved. The Nerazzurri have decided to drop the Belgian centre-forward, owned by Chelsea but so far linked to the Nerazzurri context. However, the ways of the market are endless, and as the days go by, Juve seems to have found fertile ground to weave the web in order to please their coach.

For Chelsea, the player is out, but is worth at least 40 million. A figure that would be guaranteed by Juve and only approached by Inter, who in the meantime have lost the direct line with the player. At Continassa, with fine work – under wraps – they put themselves in a position to talk to Lukaku, to the point of making him feel more involved in Allegri’s project. The bianconeri would now have the advantage in the attacker race, but not yet in the conditions to close: the reason is simple, Vlahovic must first be sold.

Dusan’s departure can be directed towards Chelsea, who spoke about it with Juve a few weeks ago, but also towards PSG, which in the meantime would have received the player’s approval and would be ready to relaunch. For the Bianconeri, the Serbian can leave for 80 million: thus, half would be destined for the Lukaku operation. Without Inter pressing, it could become easier for Giuntoli and Manna to operate but be careful to underestimate the possible ambushes ahead.

Inter will sell Onana to Manchester United for over 50 million in the next few hours: resentments aside, it cannot be ruled out regardless that he may take a step back on Lukaku. That’s why now Juve must accelerate on the Vlahovic front and collect what is necessary to define the arrival of Lukaku: apparently, considered fundamental in the team project that Allegri has in mind. The Juventus management is supporting its coach with the belief that he can find the right joints.

Decisive days on the Vlahovic-Lukaku intrigue, with the danger of Saudi Arabia in the background representing a threat that must always be kept in mind. The case of Milinkovic Savic, whom Juve thought they had in hand until a few days ago, has given a first lesson in this sense. Now the Bianconeri no longer want to risk it: that’s why they will try to close the market triangulation before the departure for the American tour, scheduled for next Friday. Vlahovic has already set foot outside Continassa, Lukaku is Allegri’s dream that can come true.
