Juventus are reportedly hopeful of securing a loan deal for Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku.
Blues head coach Mauricio Pochettino recently revealed that the Belgium international would be leaving Stamford Bridge this summer, with the striker not in the club's plans for the new campaign.
Inter Milan had been in discussions over a return for the 30-year-old, with the club thought to be interested in signing him on a permanent basis for a second time.
However, it is believed that the San Siro giants dropped their interest after learning that the striker was also speaking to Juventus.
There has also been suggestions of interest from Saudi Arabia, with Al-Hilal believed to be interested in signing him during this summer's transfer window.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea are running out of patience when it comes to the Belgian, with the Blues determined to move him on as soon as possible.
Lukaku returned to Chelsea in a £97.5m deal from Inter in 2021, but he only scored 15 goals in 44 appearances for the Premier League side in 2021-22, which led to him returning to San Siro on loan.
The striker made 37 appearances for the Milan outfit last term, scoring 14 goals and registering seven assists, but he will now not be returning to the club this summer.
According to Goal, Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is preparing to travel to England to hold talks with Chelsea over a loan deal for the centre-forward.
The report claims that Lukaku is determined to make the move to the Old Lady, and he has already agreed personal terms with the Turin giants.
Chelsea remain determined to sell the forward, but it is understood that a purchase option could be included in the deal with Juventus, allowing him to permanently depart next summer.
A deal for Lukaku could see Dusan Vlahovic depart Turin, with Paris Saint-Germain said to be interested in signing him during the current window.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are expected to move for another forward once Lukaku has left despite already adding Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson to their squad during the current market.
Pochettino's team are also still working on a deal for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo.
