Arsenal could be able to sign Dusan Vlahovic for a bargain transfer fee, with the Italian media naming two other top clubs who are keen on the Juventus striker as the Gunners make contact with a Brazilian forward.
The Gunners have been in desperate need of a top-quality striker for some time. With Gabriel Jesus injured and Kai Havertz not scoring as frequently as he did last season, Arsenal made a futile attempt to sign Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa in the January transfer window.
Alexander Isak is Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s “dream target” for the summer, while RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko is another player that the north London club like.
Vlahovic has long been on Arsenal’s radar. The Gunners tried to sign the Serbia international from Fiorentina in January 2022 before he moved to Juventus for £66.6million.
The Gunners did not bid for Vlahovic in the end, but it has now emerged that they are still keen on him.
According to TuttoJuve, Arsenal, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Vlahovic in the summer transfer window.
The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that Juventus are ready to sell Vlahovic for €35million (£29m / $36.6m).
That is an incredibly low figure for a player who has been described as “the strongest striker” in Serie A by his Serbia international teammate Filip Kostic, who is on loan at Fenerbahce from Juventus at the moment.
Vlahovic scored 49 goals and gave eight assists in 108 matches in all competitions for Fiorentina, and has scored 55 goals and provided 11 assists in 132 appearances for Juventus.
