The report says initial contact has already been made, with more talks expected soon. Chelsea and Juventus will be in Philadelphia next month for the FIFA Club World Cup, which could provide a chance to continue discussions.

According to the outlet, Chelsea are open to selling Christopher Nkunku but have set a £59 million asking price. That figure is currently too high for Juventus, who hope to negotiate a lower fee if talks progress.

Much of their pursuit could hinge on whether they qualify for the Champions League, which would boost their finances and make the project more appealing to Nkunku.

TEAMtalk also reports that Juventus aren’t the only club showing interest. Bayern Munich and Newcastle United have also explored the possibility of a summer move for the 27-year-old.
