Chelsea may have to break the bank to secure a high-profile centre-forward, with Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic reportedly commanding a hefty price tag of £69.2 million.
A Strong Start to the Season
Under Enzo Maresca, Chelsea has been firing on all cylinders offensively, leading the Premier League in goals scored this season. Nicolas Jackson has contributed significantly, netting eight of the team’s 35 goals. Despite their attacking form, speculation is rife about bolstering their forward line in 2025.
Interest in Vlahovic
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Chelsea, alongside Arsenal and Manchester United, is eyeing 24-year-old Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic. Juventus, however, has made it clear they won’t entertain offers below £69.2 million unless they decide to part ways with the forward.
While Chelsea was previously linked to Vlahovic, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the club did not pursue the player last summer.
What Vlahovic Could Bring to Chelsea
Vlahovic is seen as a physical and skilled striker capable of adapting to the demands of the Premier League. Former Juventus forward Roberto Boninsegna praised him in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, saying:
“He’s strong, massive, he fills up front, he’s a reference, he’s a left-footer full of courage. A good centre-forward.”
Vlahovic’s ability to hold the ball, battle defenders, and offer a consistent scoring threat could make him a valuable addition to Chelsea’s squad.
Should Chelsea Prioritize Vlahovic?
Despite Vlahovic’s qualities, Chelsea may not need to rush into signing another marquee striker. Nicolas Jackson’s form has been impressive, and the return of Christopher Nkunku adds further depth to their attacking options.
If Chelsea decides to strengthen the forward line, pursuing a younger, rotational player like Liam Delap could be a smarter move. This would ensure Jackson’s development isn’t hindered while maintaining balance within the squad.
Conclusion
Dusan Vlahovic’s talent and physical presence would undoubtedly add value to Chelsea, but the club’s current attacking form may allow them to focus on more strategic and cost-effective options. With Jackson and Nkunku delivering results, splurging on another high-profile striker might not be a necessity for the Blues.
