Juventus will demand a nine-figure asking price of €100 million to part ways with 24-year-old Serbian attacker Dusan Vlahovic, a target for Manchester City.
According to a report by Italian outlet Juve Live, Dusan Vlahovic is the subject of interest from Manchester City. The Premier League champions are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing the Juventus striker next year. However, the Serie A giants want around €100 million to part ways with the 24-year-old striker.
Dusan Vlahovic and his Juventus journey
Dusan Vlahovic has struggled to retain the performance levels from his stint with Fiorentina since moving across Serie A by joining Juventus in January 2022. While the Serb has shown flashes of brilliance, he has blown hot and cold in the last two and a half years at the Allianz Stadium.
However, the 24-year-old has looked promising in the first few weeks of the 2024/25 season, amassing six goals and one assist in eight appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Vlahovic’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
Recent reports have linked the Serbian international with Arsenal, with the North London club dispatching scouts to watch him in the UEFA Champions League. However, the Juventus striker is also a target for Manchester City. Meanwhile, the Serie A giants will demand around €100 million to part ways with Vlahovic next year.
Premier League move beckons?
Manchester City’s interest in Dusan Vlahovic is understandable. The Premier League champions are keen on reinforcing their offensive department next year, considering Erling Haaland is the only recognised striker in Pep Guardiola’s squad. Manchester City mulled over signing Kyogo Furuhashi from Celtic in the summer transfer window.
However, Vlahovic is also a viable target. The 24-year-old Serb can be a long-term solution in the final third for Manchester City, considering Haaland is a target for Barcelona and Real Madrid. But it is unclear if the Premier League champions are ready to cough up €100 million to sign him from Juventus.
Considering Vlahovic will initially be a squad player for Manchester City, €100 million will be a sizeable investment. It will be interesting to see if the Premier League champions meet Juventus’s asking price for the Serbian striker.
