As the January transfer window heats up, Arsenal is reportedly eyeing Dusan Vlahovic to bolster their forward line. Meanwhile, Juventus has revealed a willingness to part ways with the Serbian striker under specific conditions.
Dusan Vlahovic’s future at Juventus appears uncertain, with the Serie A giants ready to entertain offers for the 24-year-old.
Since joining the Turin-based club three years ago from Fiorentina in a high-profile move, Vlahovic has delivered a respectable 40 goals in 90 Serie A appearances, justifying his £60 million price tag.
Despite his decent performance, Vlahovic has fallen down the pecking order under new manager Thiago Motta, who took over in the summer. Although the striker has scored 12 goals in 23 matches this season, his role as a regular starter has diminished, raising questions about his long-term place at the club.
Contract negotiations between Vlahovic and Juventus have stalled, increasing the likelihood of a January exit.
Reports from Gazzetta suggest that Juventus will only let Vlahovic leave if a suitor matches their valuation, with Arsenal reportedly keeping a close watch.
Arsenal’s urgency to secure attacking reinforcements has grown after Gabriel Jesus sustained a season-ending knee injury.
Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his concerns, saying, “It’s not looking good at all. We need to review with the specialist and will have more information this afternoon.”
Arteta emphasized Arsenal’s active presence in the transfer market, stating, “We are looking and trying to improve the squad. To recruit a player, three parties have to agree, and we need the best resources to compete at the highest level.”
Juventus, meanwhile, is reportedly eyeing Randal Kolo Muani, who has struggled for playing time at Paris Saint-Germain, as a potential replacement for Vlahovic.
The French striker has made just two starts for PSG this season and could be a viable option for the Italian club.
As the transfer window narrows, the race for Dusan Vlahovic’s signature intensifies, with Arsenal keen to secure a deal that addresses their offensive woes. Whether Juventus and Arsenal can align their interests remains to be seen, but Vlahovic’s future hangs in the balance.
