Juventus could go toe-to-toe with Chelsea in the transfer market this summer.
Chelsea could bring in a new striker ahead of the 2026/27 season amid links with the likes of Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez and Paris Saint-Germain’s Goncalo Ramos.
However, Juventus also look keen to strengthen up front, with Dusan Vlahovic’s contract set to expire.

Juventus won’t withdraw from race for Chelsea target Goncalo Ramos
It was recently claimed that Chelsea are in talks with Ramos’ representatives over a potential move to Stamford Bridge.
They face competition for his signature from more than one club, though, including the likes of Premier League rivals Manchester United and Italian giants Juventus.
According to Calciomercato, English heavyweights Chelsea and United are both interested in Ramos, but that has not deterred Juventus.

The outlet states that the Old Lady have no intention of pulling out just because Chelsea and United are also circling.
Joao Pedro is the Blues’ first-choice striker and has done an excellent job this season. In 44 appearances, the Brazilian has scored 19 goals.
However, Liam Delap could leave Stamford Bridge this summer, meaning that Chelsea may need to sign another centre-forward. The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to Newcastle United.
How many goals has Goncalo Ramos scored this season?
Ramos has been in and out of PSG’s team in the current campaign. In total, he has made 10 starts and 15 substitute appearances in Ligue 1, scoring six goals.
Across all competitions, the Portuguese has made 39 appearances and scored 12 goals. As a regular starter, Ramos has the potential to score a lot of goals; he showed that at Benfica before his €80m (£69.9m) move to PSG.
If Chelsea are looking to bring in a new striker, they could do a lot worse than Ramos, who still has time to grow at 24. And with his contract expiring in 2028, PSG could very well be open to doing business.
