Barcelona and Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in a Bosman move next summer.
According to a report by Gazzetta dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Barcelona and Manchester United are keen on Dusan Vlahovic. The two high-profile clubs are eager to bolster their offensive units by signing a striker in next summer’s transfer window. So, the 25-year-old Juventus centre-forward has emerged as a target for them.
The Serb has entered the final 12 months of his contract with Juventus, and he will likely leave the Serie A club as a free agent after the 2025/26 season. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Manchester United face stiff competition from Atletico Madrid for Vlahovic’s signature, with the three clubs lining up a Bosman move for next summer.
Dusan Vlahovic and his situation
Dusan Vlahovic has seen his stock drop since joining Juventus from Fiorentina in January 2022. The 25-year-old was among the most exciting young strikers in Serie A when he moved to the Allianz Stadium three and a half years ago. However, he has struggled to remain consistent during his spell with the Bianconeri.
The Serbian striker improved in the 2024/25 season, and he has started the new campaign well, amassing four goals and one assist in four outings thus far. However, Vlahovic faces an uncertain future at Juventus, as he has entered the final 12 months of his contract with the Serie A club. The situation has piqued the attention of several bigwigs, including Barcelona and Manchester United.
A man in demand
Barcelona’s interest in Dusan Vlahovic is understandable. The Catalan giants are scouring the market for a striker amid Robert Lewandowski’s advancing age. Several candidates have thus emerged on Barcelona’s radar, and even Marcus Rashford can be the Pole’s long-term successor, with the Blaugrana considering a permanent move.
As for Manchester United, the Red Devils briefly considered a summer move for the 25-year-old Serb before a deal failed to materialise. The continued interest is understandable, considering Joshua Zirkzee’s long-term future at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid will also compete with Barcelona and Manchester United to sign the Serbian international in a Bosman move next summer. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Vlahovic amid uncertainties surrounding his future at Juventus.
