Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has reportedly offered his services to La Liga champions Real Madrid.
According to a report from Fichajes, Dusan Vlahovic is unhappy at Serie A club Juventus. And the 22-year-old Serbian international has offered himself to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti could definitely use more depth in the attacking department. And it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid decide to make a move for the Juventus striker at the end of the season. The Italian giants paid €70 million to sign the player from fellow Serie A club Fiorentina. But things have not gone according to plan for either party.
While Vlahovic has not been a poor signing, he has failed to live up to the expectations and justify the transfer outlay. The 22-year-old has seven goals and two assists to his name across all competitions. And he has the potential to develop into a world-class striker.
With Karim Benzema in his twilight years, Real Madrid will have to plan for the future. And Vlahovic could prove to be a solid long-term acquisition. In the short term, the 22-year-old could share the goal-scoring burden alongside the Frenchman.
Vlahovic has been linked with the move to the Premier League in recent months as well. And it will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually. Juventus will be hoping to recoup most afford they paid for him. The player is far from his peak, and working with a manager like Carlo Ancelotti could help him improve further and fulfil his world-class potential.
The opportunity to join a club like Real Madrid can be a tempting proposition for most players. And it is hardly a surprise that the 22-year-old striker has chosen to offer him to Los Blancos. It remains to be seen whether Florentino Perez is willing to break the bank for him in the coming months.
Vlahovic has proven himself to be one of the most promising young strikers in Europe. And he would add a new dimension to the Real Madrid attack if the move goes through. The Serb is adept at holding up the play and he is capable in the air as well. Los Blancos could use a target man like him as a Plan B.
