Arsenal, Man United, and Chelsea in Talks for £80M Striker’s Premier League Move
Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea are reportedly ‘in talks’ with the agent of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, who is eager to transfer to the Premier League.
Due to ongoing financial difficulties, the Italian club is presently contemplating selling several players. The 23-year-old, however, will not come inexpensive.
In January 2022, Juventus acquired Vlahovic from Fiorentina for €80m (£69.6m). Therefore, Juventus would seek a profit from this quantity.
In fact, it is believed that they will consider proposals around £80 million.
Chelsea is anticipated to be the first club to relocate. As previously reported by Football365, the Blues are ‘preparing an offer’ for Vlahovic. However, the price is only £69 million, which plainly falls short of Juventus’ asking price.
According to the Italian publication CalcioMercato, Vlahovic’s agents are currently working hard to locate him a new club this summer.
They claim that his entourage is ‘in discussions’ with Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea to convince them to meet Juventus’ asking price.
Last season, Vlahovic delivered some solid performances, but he primarily fell short of expectations.
Overall, he appeared 42 times for Juventus. In total, he tallied 14 goals and contributed four assists.
This is not what one would anticipate from a €80 million player. To be truthful, however, he was never truly fit.
It is currently unknown whether Manchester United, Arsenal, or Chelsea will make an offer for his services.
It is no secret that Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino are seeking to acquire attacking reinforcements.
Marcus Rashford was in excellent form for Manchester United last season, netting 30 goals in all competitions. However, if they want to become title contenders again, he could use some assistance.
Ten Hag’s main striker target prospect was Harry Kane. However, difficult negotiations with Tottenham make it probable that he will remain with Spurs. However, Bayern Munich remains in contention.
Randal Kolo Muani of Eintracht Frankfurt and Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta are two additional names linked to the club. However, the Man Utd hierarchy has discussed Vlahovic in the past, so it is conceivable that they could revive their interest in him.
Last season, Chelsea, on the other hand, struggled to score goals. Due to Armando Broja’s injury and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s lackluster play, they were forced to play the majority of the season without a natural center-forward.
Romelu Lukaku will return to Stamford Bridge following the conclusion of his loan with Inter Milan. However, there is no assurance he will remain.
However, the arrivals of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson should aid in this regard to some degree.
It is therefore not surprising that Chelsea is interested in Vlahovic, who could prove to be an excellent long-term investment for them. Whether or not they will reach his £80 million price tag remains to be seen, however.
