Arsenal plan to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in January
Arsenal The signing of a forward is expected to be their main objective for 2025 in the transfer market and they have already begun to lay the foundations for an imminent arrival. It's starting to look like the Gunners might also be willing to spend a lot of money in January if they can land one of their preferred shooters.
The Italian media Calcio Mercato has stated that Arsenal “plan to focus a lot” on the signing of Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus in the winter window. The striker is in the final year and a half of his contract with the Bianconeri and, although talks have been held to renew it, there remains a significant gap between his salary expectations and what Juve are willing to offer.
The report adds that Thiago Motta rates the player highly, especially considering his form at the start of the current campaign, in which he has scored seven goals. As a result, Vlahovic's departure is not an issue that Juventus would like to consider in January, but it should be noted that their negotiating power over his transfer continues to reduce with each passing month.
The perfect Vlahovic profile for Arsenal
Dusan Vlahovic is valued at approximately £55 million at Transfermarktan assessment unlikely to faze Arsenal given the obvious need for a striker. The Serbian international's wage demand of approximately £8 million per year will also be something that would not require the North Londoners to go broke.
His signing is not only economically viable, but the player also promises to fit well tactically. He has a versatile profile that guarantees him to be lethal in the area and, at the same time, have the ability to create play by holding the ball high, a characteristic that Mikel Arteta You'll appreciate it, as it might also bring out the best in your extremes.
It remains to be seen how the transfer develops as Arsenal make a formal attempt to sign him. With Juventus unwilling to budge on his contractual demands, the 24-year-old may well be attracted by the prospect of joining a first division team that may be one consistent scorer away from winning the title.
