A swap deal between Chelsea and Juventus is probable now. As far as I have heard Juventus want 40 million euros cash plus Lukaku to send Vlahovic to them. I think this is a quite reasonable deal for Chelsea. There is no meaning in keeping Lukaku for Chelsea in the first place. Vlahovic would be a way better choice at the moment.
Chelsea doesn't agree with such offer. Chelsea already lowered its offer for juventus. The club may agree to get vlahovic once juventus will agree with 35m + lukaku as its offer. It's a non sense deal to give a lot of money for juventus.
Chelsea has been also adding lukaku in the in the its offer. Juventus shall lowered its offer for chelsea if the club is willing to sell vlahovic but the fact that if vlahovic didn't wanna leave from juventus. This deal may be cancelled by chelsea.

Lukaku has played for Chelsea many times and we have never seen him showing an impressive performance consistently. There is no reason to give him another chance. Vlahovic is a young and really skilled scorer. I think he would fit Pochettino's system better than Allegri's.
Juventus and chelsea are so desperate to sell their useless strikers. Vlahovic already made personal agreement with PSG but juventus wants him to be exchanged for lukaku from chelsea + additional funds.
I think that vlahovic can reject it and the transfer will not happen.

Chelsea are really caring about paying 5 more million euros for Vlahovic now? Anyway it is still a deal that Juventus could agree upon. Vlahovic is normally not a useless striker but he is just not the man for Allegri's system. He can't play as comfortable as he was before. Maybe signing for Chelsea can help him start playing like himself.

Juventus are keen on having Lukaku after seeing Vlahovic's performance last season. Chelsea shouldn't give up on this deal as it would be a reasonable deal for them. It is obvious they can't do anything with Lukaku. Bringing Vlahovic is a chance to keep their attacking line more productive.
In as much as we know that Vlahovic is a good striker that is capable of scoring 20+ goals a season, I don't think Chelsea as a club do not necessarily need a player like Vlahovic at the club at the moment.
They have good strikers like Christopher Nkunku and Nicholas Jackson who I think will are adapting well with the club new manager's footballing philosophy.
