Chelsea target Dusan Vlahovic is set to become one of the most sought-after free agents in world football this summer, with the Juventus striker attracting widespread interest following confirmation that he will leave the Italian club at the end of his contract.
According to reports, CHELSEA have already made contact with the striker’s representatives as they begin early groundwork for a potential move, though the Blues are understood to be facing significant competition from several Premier League and European rivals also tracking the Serbia international.
The situation follows a breakdown in contract negotiations between Vlahovic and Juventus, with talks over a renewal collapsing after months of deadlock over salary terms.
The striker is now expected to depart Turin as a free agent when his deal expires at the end of June, ending a four-year spell that began with his high-profile move from Fiorentina in 2022.
Vlahovic’s availability has immediately triggered interest across Europe, with clubs in England, Germany, Spain and Italy all monitoring developments. Chelsea are among the most active suitors, having maintained long-standing interest in the forward and now stepping up engagement as the opportunity to sign him without a transfer fee becomes realistic.
Sources indicate that several English clubs have already opened discussions with his camp this week, underlining the level of competition expected for one of the summer’s marquee free transfers. Chelsea’s recruitment team are believed to view the situation as a potential market opportunity, particularly given the club’s ongoing search for added firepower in attack.
However, CHELSEA are far from alone in the race. Premier League rivals are also circling, while European heavyweights are expected to test Vlahovic’s intentions as he weighs up the next step in his career.
Chelsea’s early contact ensures they remain firmly in the conversation, but the scale of interest suggests the battle for his signature could run deep into the summer window.
