manchester united they have supposedly joined Arsenal in the race to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to Soccer insider information.
After joining the Bianconeri from Fiorentina back in 2022, the Serbian international has been the first choice center forward at the Allianz Stadium. But he has not been able to flourish in his career with the Italian giants.
In 13 Serie A appearances this season, Vlahovic has scored six goals and recorded just one assist. Speculation over his future has begun to arise of late as he has entered the final 18 months of his current contract.
Soccer insider information They claim that Juventus want to retain him by tying him to a new contract, but negotiations have not progressed smoothly.
Arsenal have a long-term interest in Vlahovic and are closely monitoring his current situation at the Old Lady of Turin. But Man Utd have also included the 24-year-old on their list of striker targets.
Battle
Ruben Amorim's side are interested in signing a new striker next summer to address their goal-scoring problems and Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres is their top target.
United are in an advantageous position on this deal due to the connection with Amorim, but Gyokeres also has other potential suitors. Therefore, Vlahovic is their alternative target if they fail to sign the Swedish international.
Vlahovic is valued at around £54 million per Transfer market and if he does not sign an extension with Juventus before next summer, then he should be available for a cut-price deal before next season.
Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund They are the two center forward options that Manchester United currently has and the record first division The champions spent more than £100m combined in the last two summer windows to sign the duo.
However, neither of them have managed to give their best in the Premier League and Alejandro Garnacho is their top scorer at the moment with eight goals in all competitions.
On the other hand, Arsenal have Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus as the two forward options at the moment. But, while the German has been inconsistent, the Brazilian has completely lost his form.
Therefore, both Man Utd and Arsenal could do with signing a new striker and it remains to be seen if either club will eventually sign Vlahovic next year.
