Real Madrid and Arsenal are readying offers for Dusan Vlahovic in the summer, with Juventus ready to sell.
According to Calciomercatoweb, Real Madrid and Arsenal could prepare offers for Dusan Vlahovic in the summer. The Serbian forward could depart Juventus after a rocky period for the Serie A giants, and he could have a few proposals on the table during the next window.
Dusan Vlahovic shined after joining Juventus in the January window of 2022. But things have gone in a different direction this season. There are two facets to his season, with one before the World Cup, where he had niggling injuries, and then after it, when he has somewhat reclaimed his old form.
Yet, Massimiliano Allegri remains unconvinced about the forward’s style. And there are doubts regarding his future at the club. Juventus were also rocked by a hefty 15-point deduction owing to an FIGC ruling, which has cost them a shot at the title.
Those sanctions and recent results have also caused a dent in their hopes to finish in the Champions League places. Hence, they could have to sell some of their prized assets and balance their books. Vlahovic could become one of those players to leave, with the Serie A giants anticipating heavy interest in the 23-year-old striker.
A host of top clubs, including Arsenal and Bayern Munich, have eyes on the 23-year-old striker. The Gunners have had a long-standing interest in the forward and could rekindle their efforts to land him as Arteta seeks a different option up front.
The Gunners have Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun, with the latter’s future in significant doubt. However, Arteta might seek a different striker to his front line. And Vlahovic’s profile represents that of a target man or focal point forward, something Arsenal lack.
The Gunners and some Premier League rivals face competition for Vlahovic from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants could enter the market for a marksman and replacement for Karim Benzema. The Frenchman’s contract expires in the summer, and no extension has been reported.
If the Frenchman departs, they will seek a high-profile replacement, and Vlahovic features on their shortlist. There’s always the case of the European holders when they seek a certain player. Real Madrid often find it easy to secure the signature, although much will depend on Juventus and Vlahovic.
