Paris Saint-Germain could be on the verge of finding their new No. 9 in Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic. Whether or not Kylian Mbappé remains in the French capital, the Ligue 1 side wants a striker.
RMC Sport reports that PSG and Vlahovic are close to an agreement in principle. The French media outlet adds that discussions are underway between both parties.

Juventus finds themselves in a time-sensitive situation as they have set a deadline of August 4 to sell Vlahovic. The Italian giants are keen to secure the services of Romelu Lukaku. However, that move can only occur if they sell Vlahovic.

PSG isn’t alone in their interest in Vlahovic. Chelsea is in the mix to add the Juventus forward to strengthen their attack, as it seems new manager Mauricio Pochettino values the player.
The pursuit for the Serbian will be costly as the Serie A side values the striker at €80 million. It will be interesting to see if either PSG or Chelsea will be willing to meet that asking price before Juventus’ self-imposed deadline.
