Chelsea have reportedly informed Juventus that they are prepared to include as many as five players in a proposal for Dusan Vlahovic.

In recent weeks, the Serbia international has been linked with a transfer away from Turin, a combination of Juventus missing out on Champions League football and failing to fully settle at the club.

As a result, a number of European football's top clubs have seemingly identified Vlahovic as a potential summer transfer target, despite being aware of his price tag.

Although Juventus are eager to improve their financial situation as soon as possible, it has been suggested that they will hold out for at least £70m for the 23-year-old.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich have each been credited as admirers of a player who has contributed 23 goals and six assists during his 62 appearances for Juventus.

Nevertheless, both teams will likely face competition from Chelsea, and it appears that Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital are prepared to get creative in order to find a solution for their relevant clubs.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Premier League giants have informed their Serie A counterparts that they are willing to include up to five players in any offer.

The report says that Trevoh Chalobah, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku have all been suggested to Juve director Giovanni Manna.

At a time when they are making cutbacks, Juventus are unlikely to accept the chance to sign each of the quintet, particularly when some are more likely to move to Juventus than others.

Lukaku's association with Inter Milan and preference to move to San Siro will theoretically see him reject any move to Juventus, while Chalobah is allegedly keen to prove himself to new Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino.

However, Koulibaly, Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic have all been linked with a move to Italian football in recent weeks, with Pulisic already tipped to move to Juventus.

Inter are said to be interested in securing a loan deal for Koulibaly, whereas Loftus-Cheek allegedly has admirers in Lazio and AC Milan.

Chelsea are expected to start parting ways with players in due course, and it is known that the West Londoners want to boost their accounts before June 30 and their overall FFP position across the current transfer window. body check tags ::
