Reports in Italy claim Max Allegri would like to bring Romelu Lukaku to Juventus , potentially with Dusan Vlahovic heading to Chelsea, but the Belgian has his heart set on Inter.

The 23-year-old Serbian striker struggled to show his best under Allegri last season, netting just 10 goals in 27 Serie A appearances.

Vlahovic is expected at Continassa on Monday to meet with with new director Cristiano Giuntoli to discuss his true intentions for the future.

Meanwhile, rumours in England, according to Football Italia, had pushed Juve into the race for Lukaku, especially as Chelsea believe they could provide a higher bid than Inter and get closer to the €45m asking price.

Italian sources had until now been entirely confident Juve were not even in the running, nor particularly interested in the idea of ​​signing Lukaku.

That seems to be changing, as Gazzetta dello Sport and Sportitalia Juventus correspondent Giovanni Albanese now suggests coach Allegri requested Lukaku as a potential reinforcement in his meeting Giuntoli.

He also states that Vlahovic can leave for the right offer, and Chelsea are one of the clubs interested in a possible swap deal.

However, that all fails to take into account that Lukaku already rejected a more lucrative proposal from Saudi Arabia and has said before he would ‘never’ go to Inter’s arch-rivals Juventus.
