Vlahovic has struck four goals in six games for Max Allegri’s side this season, and the 23-year-old may prefer to stay in Serie A. But the Bianconeri’s financial situation has showed no signs of abating for now, meaning they could be forced to sell the £60m-rated star if they need to raise funds.
Brentford target man Ivan Toney and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins are other possible alternatives to Osimhen, although it would require a huge investment upwards of £70m to sign either of the England international pair.
Signing one of Toney and Watkins would unquestionably strengthen Chelsea’s ailing frontline, But losing out on Osimhen to Liverpool would prove to be a bitter pill to swallow if he were to line up against them, rather than for them.
