Arsenal enter pursuit of Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic

Arsenal are carefully monitoring Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, in accordance with Mundo Deportivo.

The Gunners at the moment have Viktor Gyokeres, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus as their centre-forward choices, however the latter has been touted to depart on the finish of the season. Jesus will enter the ultimate 12 months of his Gunners deal this summer season and will pursue a brand new problem the place he has the reassurance of standard taking part in time.

Arsenal could need a new striker within the squad for subsequent season and Mundo Deportivo declare that the Gunners are carefully monitoring the state of affairs of Vlahovic alongside Bayern Munich and Barcelona. In the previous couple of hours, Atletico Madrid have additionally been provided the possibility to signal the 26-year-old striker by means of an middleman.

Vlahovic’s present take care of Juventus expires on the finish of June and he has opted towards a renewal. He has snubbed the membership’s £5m per 12 months wage provide to resume and desires no less than £7m per season. The Serbian has no plans to alter his stance and appears set to depart on a free switch settlement in the course of the summer season.

Unlikely deal

Arsenal have been extensively fancied to signal Vlahovic throughout his time at Fiorentina in early 2022, however the Serbian ace most well-liked to remain in Serie A and ended up becoming a member of Juventus for £67 million. The deal was thought-about as a giant setback for the Gunners on the time, however Vlahovic has not essentially hit the bottom operating in Turin.

Barring an honest begin in his debut marketing campaign, he has failed to seek out consistency along with his goalscoring. He has collected a tally of simply 66 targets from 166 matches for the Bianconeri, and has not fulfilled his full potential. Arsenal have as soon as once more been linked along with his providers, however they might not make a contract provide for him.

The Gunners have already got two high quality centre-forwards in Gyokeres and Havertz, and should need a younger marksman, who can be taught from the duo as a third-choice resolution. Vlahovic is unlikely to entertain such a task, and might want the assure of standard begins if he have been to affix the Gunners on a free switch deal this summer season.

Arsenal can also be unwilling to pay a hefty signing-on payment and wage to a participant, who has had loads of damage woes. He has missed virtually 50 matches for Juventus with numerous accidents. 50% of these video games have been this marketing campaign. Therefore, we don’t see the Gunners making a transfer for the previous Fiorentina sensation.
