Dusan Vlahovic has been linked with a move to Chelsea in recent months, but the Juventus forward has reportedly made his stance clear regarding a potential move to England this summer.
According to UK outlet TeamTalk, the 26-year-old has little appetite for a move to Stamford Bridge, even as Chelsea continue to assess long-term options at centre-forward. CHELSEA have been tracking potential upgrades in attack ahead of the summer window, with Vlahović repeatedly mentioned as one of the most attainable high-profile strikers on the market should Juventus decide to cash in.
However, the report states that Vlahović’s preference is a move to Spain, where Barcelona are expected to reshape their squad amid financial constraints and the need to reduce wages before making significant signings.
The Catalan side have been linked to younger, more cost-effective forwards, though acquiring Vlahović would still require a substantial financial commitment.
Juventus, meanwhile, are reportedly ready to let the big striker leave. The Turin club are working to balance sporting ambitions with an ongoing rebuild for next season, and getting Vlahovic’s massive £300k-a-week wages off the books will go a long way.
***CHELSEA***’s striker search is expected to continue, with the club evaluating both established names and emerging prospects. Their need for a reliable goalscorer has been evident across the season, and Vlahović’s profile—powerful, athletic, and proven in Serie A—had made him a strong candidate.
