Moves involving Romelu Lukaku and Dusan Vlahović are likely to be separate deals for Juventus and Chelsea.
Nicola Balice has reported that Sebastien Ledure, the lawyer who represents the interests of the former Inter striker, has reiterated in recent days that he wants to keep the commitment made to Juventus and does not want to listen to other offers until the end of this week, only to then look around to figure out what to do if a solution to the deal does not arrive by Sunday.
Chelsea initially rejected the loan offer with option to buy for Lukaku, but they have now opened up to the idea of signing Vlahović. Ledure is trying to hurry Juve up and that is likely why the Blues have opened up to signing the Serbian forward.
Having said that, there is a likelihood that the moves will be parallel ones. Chelsea continue to ask for €30 million plus bonuses of €15 million for Lukaku and an exchange of cash deals could be a potential solution.
