Serie A Juventus and English Premier League Chelsea are close to a major deal to swap strikers.
“Romelu Lukaku Agrees With Juventus On 3+1 Year Contract”
Dushan Blahovic is involved in Lukaku’s Juventus contract. Juventus have demanded a transfer fee of at least 40 million euros after Chelsea inquired about the signing of Blahovic. Chelsea have offered Lukaku to Juventus to save cash.
Lukaku left Inter Milan ahead of the 2021-22 season and wore a Chelsea uniform for £97.5 million (W154.7 billion).
When Lukaku failed to meet expectations with eight goals and one assist in 26 games, Chelsea put Lukaku on the transfer market and Inter Milan brought him back.
Lukaku, who wore an Inter Milan uniform in the 2019-20 season, made a big success with 23 goals and 2 assists in 36 Serie A games from the first season, and in the 2020-21 season, he led the team to victory with manager Antonio Conte with 24 goals and 11 assists in 36 games. Inter Milan greeted Lukaku with ‘Return of the King’.
Although he was sluggish at the beginning of this season due to injuries, he recovered his performance as he played games and finished the season with 10 goals and 6 assists in 25 Serie A games. He also led the team to runner-up in the UEFA Champions League with 3 goals and 1 assist in 8 matches.
As he showed signs of resurgence this season, he hoped to extend his career at Inter Milan, but he returned to Chelsea when Inter Milan refused.
Chelsea, who have returned as if Luca was being chased, took the new helm from manager Mauricio Pochettino. However, it is expected that Lukaku’s fallen position will not change even under Pochettino’s managerial system. Chelsea are not finished with the signing of striker Nicola Jackson, and they are also eyeing Blahovic.
Although Lukaku is far from Chelsea, he is a veteran striker and is a proven striker in Serie A as he has scored 57 goals and 18 assists in 97 Serie A matches. Analysis follows that it is a necessary recruitment for Juventus, which is planning to compete for ranking in Serie A again.
Blahovic has been dubbed the ‘monster striker’ and joined Juventus from Fiorentina during the 2021-22 season.
In the first year of the transfer, he scored 7 goals and 1 assist in 15 Serie A games as a member of Juventus, but this season, he struggled with a groin injury and scored only 10 goals and 2 assists in 27 games.
Juventus put Blahovic on the transfer market this summer to solve their financial difficulties.
