Chelsea are reportedly in talks over a deal for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic and are willing to include Romelu Lukaku in the offer to bring the Serbian international to Stamford Bridge next summer.
Lukaku has been in good form this season and has already scored 13 goals in 20 matches across all competitions for Jose Mourinho's Roma.
Vlahovic, on the other hand, is the leading goalscorer for Juventus this term, with six goals in 15 matches in Serie A.
According to Tuttosport, a swap deal between Chelsea and Juventus involving the two strikers may be considered at the end of the current season.
The report adds that Chelsea have no intention of including Lukaku in their future plans, and the striker has no desire to return to Stamford Bridge.
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri is believed to be an admirer of the Belgian forward and maintains an interest in him despite the previous summer's deal falling through.
Meanwhile, Juventus might find themselves compelled to offload Vlahovic due to their financial constraints.
It is understood that the terms within the Serbian's existing contract with the Serie A outfit include a salary increase that will take his earnings to around £10m from next season.
