      Chelsea transfer blow as ‘Real Madrid want Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic on loan before making Kylian Mbappe move next year’

      CHELSEA have suffered a transfer blow after Real Madrid reportedly registered an interest in signing Dusan Vlahovic.The Blues have admired the striker for some time and it is believed Juventus would be open to letting him go this summer.

      Chelsea confirmed the arrival of striker Nicolas Jackson on Friday but Mauricio Pochettino may be keen to add more firepower to his attack.
      However Chelsea could miss out on Vlahovic as Real Madrid want to sign the Serbia international, according to Calciomercato.
      It is claimed the Spanish giants are considering a loan move for Vlahovic, which will include a fee in the region of £13-17million.
      That would allow Real to make a move for Kylian Mbappe next summer when the superstar’s Paris Saint-Germain contract runs out.

      But it is possible Chelsea could still win the race for Vlahovic and they are willing to offer Juventus a player in exchange.
      Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Trevoh Chalobah, Romelu Lukaku and Kalidou Koulibaly were all believed to have been offered during talks between the two clubs.
      Koulibaly and Loftus-Cheek have since departed with Pulisic also close to joining AC Milan, but the money from their sales and that of Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz could fund a move for Vlahovic.
      Juventus value Vlahovic at £68million and club chiefs are desperate to sell him this summer.

      The striker joined the club in a £62m transfer from Fiorentina in January last year, but he has struggled to find form with 23 goals in 63 games for The Old Lady.
      Vlahovic is also a long-term Arsenal transfer target but it appears Mikel Arteta has focused on other players this summer, including Declan Rice. More

      “It’s one step, one experience, so enjoy it and congratulations.
      “It’s just one step and all the steps in your career are not forward and you have to know that.
      “You can go forward then backwards and then forwards. You fall, you go back – that’s, unfortunately, this industry and the football career of any player.”

      Personal terms are understood to have already been finalised, with an official announcement of the signing all that remains.
      Following the news that a fee had been agreed, Chalobah tweeted a crying face emoji before quickly deleting his cryptic post.
      Just minutes later, though, he wrote: “My boy,” with a crying face emoji and a broken heart emoji.
      Although the meaning behind the post is unknown, the timing suggests it was in reference to Mount.

      Mount, 24, will sign a five-year contract at Old Trafford with the option of a further 12 months, worth in the region of £250,000 a week.
      It brings to a conclusion the former academy player’s 16-year association with the club he joined as an eight-year-old.
      Personal terms are a formality and Mount was last night arranging a medical to rubber-stamp the deal, which is the first of the summer for United boss Erik ten Hag.
      Talks between Chelsea and the Red Devils have dragged on for weeks.

      United had THREE bids rejected for a player who has only a year left on his Blues contract.
      Chelsea were holding out for “north of £60m” while United would only offer £55m — and threatened to walk away.
      But a meeting yesterday led to a breakthrough with both sides compromising.
      Chelsea poster boy Mount is the latest star to leave Stamford Bridge as part of a mass sell-off.

      Defender Kalidou Koulibaly, keeper Edouard Mendy, midfielder Mateo Kovacic, forward Kai Havertz plus on-loan pair Joao Felix and Denis Zakaria have all departed since the season ended.
      Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is in the process of finalising a move to AC MIlan while N’Golo Kante has joined Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad as a free agent.
      However, Hakim Ziyech’s switch to Al-Nassr is thought to have hit a snag.
      Chelsea will also listen to offers for club captain Cesar Azpilicueta and winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.
      The sale of Mount will be hard to take for Blues fans, who regard him as the jewel in the crown of their renowned crop of homegrown talent.
      Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly failed to agree a new deal with Mount last year and talks collapsed when he rejected a one-year extension in February.
      Meanwhile, Ten Hag has blocked United’s back-up keeper Tom Heaton, 37, from joining Luton as doubts continue over David de Gea’s future. More

      According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea will make a move for Gabri Veiga if Mount moves to Old Trafford.
