Dusan Vlahovic has been linked with a move away from Juventus in recent months, and he will be out of contract in the summer.
Dusan Vlahovic is on the radar of clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea, but a report from TEAMtalk has claimed that the Juventus striker is hoping to join Barcelona instead.
The 26-year-old will be out of contract, and signing him for free would be a masterstroke from Barcelona. The Blaugrana need more quality in the attacking unit, and they are going through financial difficulties. They cannot afford to pass up on opportunities like these.
The Serbian international has shown his quality in Italy over the years, and there is no doubt that he has the technical attributes to do well in Spain as well. The opportunity to play for Barcelona will be exciting for him.
The Catalan giants are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they managed to win 2024/25 La Liga title. He will be hoping to fight for major trophies with them in the upcoming seasons as well. Robert Lewandowski is expected to leave the Catalan club at the end of the season, and Barcelona will need an alternative, with Vlahovic emerging as a target.
Even though the 26-year-old is not as good as the Polish international, he could still be a very useful option for them. The player’s ability to hold up the ball and bring others into the game could prove to be particularly beneficial. Also, signing the Serb for free would be a low-risk, high-upside acquisition.
Arsenal and Chelsea eyeing Vlahovic
Meanwhile, Arsenal and Chelsea are looking to add more depth to their attacking units as well. There is no doubt that the Serbian international would be a quality acquisition for them. However, he has decided to join Barcelona, and it will be interesting to see if the London clubs can convince him to move to the Premier League instead.
The Juventus striker is currently earning €12 million-a-year wages at the Serie A club, and it will be interesting to see if Barcelona are willing to afford those wages. The Blaugrana have limited financial means, and the player might have to accept modest wages to complete the move.
