Chelsea have been locked in talks with Juventus this summer with the Serie A club currently unable to reach an agreement over a fee for Romelu Lukaku.
Juventus are open to including Vlahovic as part of the deal but are demanding €40 million (£34.4m) for the Serbia international, as well as Lukaku.
However, The Guardian reports that senior figures at Chelsea are split on the signing of Vlahovic, with Pochettino among those who are ‘less keen’ on the 23-year-old.
The report also claims that Chelsea are ‘unlikely’ to press ahead with a move for Vlahovic if Pochettino is not fully on board with the idea.
The Serbian striker, who was wanted by Arsenal before he joined Juventus in January last year, scored 14 goals in 42 appearances for the Serie A club last season.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are set to be without Christopher Nkunku for their Premier League opener against Liverpool on Sunday.
Nkunku, who completed his £53 million move from RB Leipzig in June, suffered a knee injury during Chelsea’s pre-season campaign.
