Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli revealed the club were prepared to allow Dusan Vlahovic to join Chelsea this summer.
Mauricio Pochettino had earmarked the Serbian as a target in his first transfer window in charge of the club, as he looked to bolster his attacking options for the current campaign.
The former Spurs boss made it clear that Romelu Lukaku would play not part in his plans, despite the Belgian striker arriving at Stamford Bridge as the club's record signing just two years prior.
A swap deal involving the two forwards was discussed, but failed to materialise with Vlahovic remaining in Turin and Lukaku joining Serie A rivals Roma on loan.
