Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino does not fancy the club’s push to sign Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus.
The Blues are said to have been locked in talks with the Italian giants this summer for a deal that could involve Romelu Lukaku.
Both clubs are currently unable to reach an agreement over a fee for Lukaku.
However, Juventus are open to including Vlahovic as part of the deal but are demanding €40 million (£34.4m) extra.
The Guardian reports that senior officials at Stamford Bridge are divided on the signing of the Serbian striker.
The report said that Pochettino is less keen on the player and also claims that Chelsea are ‘unlikely’ to press ahead with a deal.
The Serbia international was also keen on moving to Paris Saint-Germain earlier this summer.
However, PSG have have now signed Goncalo Ramos from Benfica.
