Dusan Vlahovic is increasingly likely to leave Juventus this summer and Aston Villa have joined Arsenal in the race for his signature, TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal.
The Serbian international’s contract with Juventus expires in 2026, negotiations over an extension are currently at a standstill and clubs are keeping a close eye on his situation.
Juventus are open to offering Vlahovic a new deal but only on lower terms than his current salary of around £215,000 per week. As a result, he looks set to leave the Bianconeri this summer.
As we have previously reported, Arsenal were the club most interested in signing Vlahovic in the January transfer window, but ultimately decided against a move.
We understand that Vlahovic remains on Arsenal’s shortlist and sources state he is ‘one of Mikel Arteta’s favourites’, alongside RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
However, in a major development, Aston Villa, who are on the hunt for a new n0. 9 to replace Jhon Duran, have identified Vlahovic as a target for the summer.
Villa are yet to make any formal enquiries, but sources state that the interest in Vlahovic is ‘concrete’ and Unai Emery’s side are seriously considering an approach in the summer.
