Newcastle United have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Serbian striker. The player will be available in the market and can be signed on discount due to his contract situation.
Gunners are keen to sign a striker this summer. They have Alexander Isak as their top target. But, it can prove hard to sign him as Newcastle are demanding around £150 million for him. Hence, they are keeping an open eye on other options available in the market.
Arsenal will also need to sign midfielders, backup keeper and winger. This means they have to operate wisely in the market. Hence, signing a player on discount will come as a major boost for them with one of their long-term target being made available in summer.
The star in question here is Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus. Gunners wanted to sign him in 2022 itself but were defeated in race by Juve. Vlahovic will have his contract expire in summer 2026. He has still not signed a new contract as he is open to move away from Italian giants.
Juve are prepared to let Vlahovic leave. They are keen to sell him this summer to avoid losing him for free next summer. Hence, they have made him available on discount. The Italian giants are keen to sign Randal Kolo Muani on permanent basis.
Newcastle United join the race for Dusan Vlahovic
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Newcastle are interested to sign Dusan Vlahovic this summer. The Magpies may lose Alexander Isak which will then require them to find a replacement as soon as possible. Vlahovic can be a great addition considering his age and quality.
Earlier, it was reported that around £35 million can be enough to land Vlahovic. The Magpies can afford it easily as they are likely to bag a hefty profit from the sale of Isak. However, Gunners may give them strong competition in the race.
