Chelsea Prepared to Present a €60 Million Bid for a Player Targeted by Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s Striking Conundrum and Chelsea’s Interest in Dusan Vlahovic
Real Madrid’s need for a striker has been no secret since the departure of the legendary Karim Benzema, who concluded his illustrious 14-year tenure with the Spanish giants to join Al-Ittihad at the end of the previous season. Surprisingly, Los Blancos have not taken decisive steps to replace the club’s second-highest all-time scorer. Instead, they opted for Joselu on a season-long loan.
To Joselu’s credit, he has performed admirably whenever given the opportunity by Carlo Ancelotti. However, he may not be the ideal choice to lead Real Madrid’s forward line if they aim to compete in all three major competitions. Moreover, at 33 years old, he does not represent a long-term solution.
One striker who has persistently been linked with Real Madrid is Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus. The Serbian forward endured a challenging season in Massimiliano Allegri’s system last year but has enjoyed a scintillating start to the current campaign. According to statistics from Transfermarkt, he has netted 4 goals and provided an assist in just 4 appearances this season.
Such impressive form has piqued the interest of several European teams, and it appears that Chelsea may be considering making an offer.
Chelsea appears willing to extend a €60 million offer for Real Madrid’s target, Vlahovic. Notably, Chelsea reportedly passed on the opportunity to sign Vlahovic during the summer transfer window. However, his stellar early-season performances may have prompted a change of heart regarding the player.
As reported by Fichajes, Chelsea remains in the market for attacking options and is prepared to table a substantial bid to Juventus for Vlahovic’s services.
The future remains uncertain, with questions surrounding whether Chelsea will indeed make an offer for Vlahovic next summer, and whether Juventus would be willing to entertain such offers given the striker’s recent exceptional form.
