Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly amongst the clubs chasing Dusan Vlahovic whose future at Juventus remains shrouded in mystery.
The Serie A giants splashed circa €84 million to buy the Serbian from domestic rivals Fiorentina in January 2022. But while he has been their top goalscorer in recent campaigns (including this one), the 24-year-old’s displays have left much to be desired, especially due to his knack for missing sitters and getting easily frustrated amidst the lack of services.
The Juventus striker is currently the highest-paid player in the Italian top flight, so the Bianconeri have been trying to negotiate a new contract that includes more affordable wages, but thus far to no avail. And with his deal expiring in June 2026, the club is running out of time, so they’re increasingly open to the idea of selling their prized asset to avoid the risk of losing his services for free next year.
According to Fichajes.net, Vlahovic’s situation has attracted at least three suitors, including Man United who could do with a new striker, especially with Marcus Rashford widely expected to leave in January.

The Red Devils have already splashed the cash on two Serie A strikers over the last 18 months, signing Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee from Atalanta and Bologna respectively. Even though these two acquisitions haven’t worked to perfection thus far, the source claims the Red Devils are examining the Serbia international with great interest.
The Spanish source portal also reveals that Arsenal have rekindled their interest in their long-time target, especially after Gabriel Jesus’ nasty injury following his collision with Bruno Fernandes during last Sunday’s FA Cup contest.
Finally, the report adds Paris Saint-Germain to the list. This would be an indirect swap with Randal Kolo Muani who is finalizing his transfer from the Ligue 1 champions to Juventus on a dry loan.
