Juventus want €70m for Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic according to Caught Offside (via The Hard Tackle). The Gunners are long-term admirers of the Serbian striker and have previously been linked with a move as well.
The north London side are looking for a new No. 9 ahead of 2025, amid Gabriel Jesus' poor form. Mikel Arteta was apparently keen to sign Benjamin Sesko this summer, but failed to prise him away from RB Leipzig.
The Slovenian has since signed a new deal with the Bundesliga club until 2029 and prising him away from the Red Bull Arena won't be easy. Arsenal are considering alternatives and have Vlahovic on their radar.

The 24-year-old has been in a rich vein of form this season with the Bianconeri, registering 10 goals and two assists from 18 games across competitions. The Gunners are apparently keeping a close eye on his performances, along with Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City.
Juventus would prefer to keep hold of him, but will consider a move for the aforementioned price. Dusan Vlahovic will enter the final year of his contract with the Serie A giants at the end of this season.
The north London side are a club on the rise under Mikel Arteta and a move is likely to appeal to the Serbian as well. He has all the attributes to be a hit in the Premier League and could be a fine fit in Arteta's tactics. Arsenal also have the financial ability to match the Bianconero's asking price.

Arsenal have scored 29 goals from 15 games in the Premier League this season and also have 11 goals in six games in the Champions League. Despite missing an established striker in their roster, the Gunners have managed 48 goals from 23 games across competitions this campaign.
As such, they could hit an even higher gear by recruiting a proven No. 9 in 2025. The north London side are currently third in the Premier League table, six points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.
Arsenal are also third in the Champions League table after six games. Kai Havertz is the club's top scorer this season, with 10 goals and two assists from 22 games across competitions.
