Next summer, Chelsea could be eyeing a move for another striker. Liam Rosenior is already using Joao Pedro as his main target man.
However, he also has Liam Delap and Marc Guiu at his disposal. Also, Nicolas Jackson could return to Stamford Bridge next summer with his future remaining undecided.
There is no doubt that Chelsea would look to find a solution for Jackson rather than keep him at the club. Meanwhile, they will also look to add a prolific goal scorer to their team.
Over the years, Chelsea had some amazing strikers who helped the Blues dominate in the English football circuit. They hoped that either Delap or Pedro would replicate that success.
However, both players are yet to live up to the expectations. That is why the Blues will be in the market to sign a new striker.
Recently, CalcioMercato has reported that Chelsea are eyeing a move for a Serie A striker. However, Transfer News Live reported earlier that Barcelona already made contact with the striker.
So, it seems Chelsea and Barcelona will be in a transfer battle to secure the signature of Dusan Vlahovic, who will become a free agent in the summer.
That is why Barcelona would love to sign him as the replacement for Robert Lewandowski. However, journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has given a worrying update for both clubs.
According to the Italian journalist, Vlahovic will have a meeting with the representatives of his current club, Juventus.
The 26-year-old is willing to stay at Turin. That is why the outcome of the talks could be positive, which will be a disappointment for Chelsea and Barcelona.
Both clubs would love to sign a quality striker like Vlahovic on a free transfer. So, if he agrees to a new deal with Juventus, then both clubs will have to look for alternatives.
