Lukaku at Juventus, what's missing: it's about the economic adjustment

The negotiation between Juventus and Chelsea gets underway: Vlahovic can end up in London, a balance for the black and whites.

What seemed unthinkable a few months ago is about to become a reality. Romelu Lukaku has never been so close to Juventus , even if the deal is not done yet.

However, the negotiation between the Juventus club and Chelsea, the club that owns the Belgian, has come to life with the Blues who have opened up the possibility of including Dusan Vlahovic in the deal.

Juventus is obviously willing to sell the Serbian, who should make room for Lukaku in the squad, but are asking for an economic adjustment.

WHAT'S LACKING FOR LUKAKU AT JUVE

The crux, as mentioned, is the amount that Chelsea will have to pay Juventus to buy Vlahovic.

The Blues were negotiating Lukaku with Inter for around 30-35 million euros, while Juve value Vlahovic at least double.

From here begins the negotiation between the black and whites and Chelsea to establish how much the London club will have to pay.

HOW MUCH LUKAKU EARNS

In the last season, played with Inter, Lukaku received around 8 million euros net per season from the Nerazzurri, or the same salary that Juventus currently pays to Paul Pogba and which would make him the highest paid in the black and white squad together with the French.
