“Chelsea’s £70m Bid for Juventus Striker Dusan Vlahovic on Mauricio Pochettino’s Request”

According to reports, Chelsea has submitted a £70m offer for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. The Blues are expected to sign a new striker this summer for incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has agreed to take over at the end of the season. Pochettino wants a new goalkeeper and central midfielder but his biggest area of concern is up front, with Kai Havertz operating as Chelsea’s frontman for the majority of the 2022-23 season. Chelsea hoped Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would provide regular goals following a deadline-day move from Barcelona last summer but the former Arsenal captain has flopped at Stamford Bridge and is now set to leave. Chelsea are one of a number of clubs tracking Napoli sensational Victor Osimhen, though the west London outfit appear to be going down another route and have now made Vlahovic their top summer target. ESPN say Chelsea – sitting just 12th in the Premier League – have already made an offer to Juventus worth around £70m.
