But it is interesting now to see what steps Chelsea will take after overhauling a lot of players who were just released. with the fresh funds they have from the sale actually Vlahovic is also still possible to bring in but as you said, there are several other options about this although it is likely that Vlahovic is one of the players prioritized.
Besides, some news about the exchange of Vlahovic and Lukaku is also still quite busy at this time so this can also be used as one of the good and mutually beneficial options for them.
This week has been really busy for some of the big clubs but it's quite normal.
Transfers are getting closer and closer to the end and they need to secure some of the players they are after because if not this could make them fail to realize what they want for next season.

Juventus performance may be impacted by the likely release of Vlahovic but the organisation may have alternate plans to improve their team. Chelsea may have difficulties as a result of psg strong pursuit of Vlahovic but there are still questions about PSG dedication in light of previous scandals. Chelsea is still a serious candidate to sign vlahovic and they are also keeping an eye on Kolo Muani and Elye Wahi as potential strikers.
Chelsea might compete well because it has raised significant money from player sales but adding further talented players might also be a wise move. In the end Juventus may be happy to let PSG secure Vlahovic while they keep looking for a suitable successor.

When Dusan left the scenario was Lukaku who entered to replace that position, especially Juventus are also still monitoring Lukaku as a successor when Dusan goes to Chelsea. and this makes them benefit because Juventus don't bother too much if they release Dusan to Chelsea.
As for PSG, the possibility when they are eyeing Dusan is because they are still messing around with the status of Mbappe at the moment and I think when Mbappe does not leave this season then they will also reduce the option of looking for a striker so in this case PSG is still 50/50 especially seeing that they are also ready with a 150 million offer for Osimhen it indicates that they still have not decided who their main target is.

What you described now perfectly shows how much all of these transfers are interdependent. Everyone is waiting for what PSG is going to do with Mbappe, PSG thmselves are waiting for Mbappe and Real Madrid because they can't sign another player for 150 million if they don't know whether Mbappe will leave, and there are several more clubs who would either have some of their options become valid or invalid depending on what happens with players at other clubs. It even trickles down to Lukaku and Juventus Turin. I think Chelsea won't remain stubborn and they will let Lukaku go because they can't be interesting in having him sitting on the bench when he is not the type of player Pochettino likes to play with.
