Chelsea and Juventus are no strangers to doing business with each other.
In January, Chelsea allowed Renato Veiga to join Juventus, and the defender may remain in Turin.
Last month, it was claimed that Chelsea have made Veiga available for transfer and that the Old Lady are keen to keep hold of him.
However, it looks like the Blues have directly offered another one of their stars to Juventus ahead of the next window.
Chelsea are looking to sell Christopher Nkunku this summer, and Bayern Munich is a possible destination for the Frenchman.
However, according to a report by Tuttosport, Chelsea and Juventus are set for talks about Nkunku, while the 27-year-old has already been offered to the Italian club.

Nkunku has hardly featured for Chelsea this season, and a move away from Stamford Bridge looks likely for him.
Having made only 9 appearances in the Premier League so far this season, he was also left out of the matchday squad for Chelsea’s 2-1 win against Fulham last month, with Maresca preferring teenage winger Tyrique George instead.
Ultimately, all of the signs suggest that Nkunku does not have a future in West London.
While things have not quite worked out for Nkunku at Chelsea, the Frenchman is still a quality forward. His record in Germany proves that. Nkunku’s best season at RB Leipzig in 2021-22 saw the France international score an impressive 35 goals in 52 games.
It is no surprise, then, that Nkunku has been linked to another top English club in Arsenal.
It is thought that Arsenal could make an offer for Nkunku and end his Chelsea nightmare this summer. The Gunners have done plenty of business with their London rivals in recent years, signing both Kai Havertz and Jorginho from them in 2023.
