Juventus are likely to lose Dusan Vlahovic in the summer transfer window. As competition is likely to grow, Newcastle United are emerging as a suitor for the Serbian.
The striker is currently nursing an injury and is likely to return to action in March. So far in this campaign, he’s scored six goals in all competitions and had started the season in impressive fashion.
The injury derailed his progress and his contract in Turin runs out in 2026. Talk is now slowly growing about his future.
Calciomercato report that even if AC Milan are keeping an eye on him, Newcastle United have already come forward for the forward.
The Magpies are trying to place themselves in the line of suitors. Eddie Howe’s side have already enquired about the possible costs of a summer deal. It is easy to presume that they asked about his salary demands, with Vlahovic currently Juve’s highest wage earner. He earns €12m per season and this weighs heavily on the Bianconeri offers.
Newcastle United doing early transfer work
Despite that, Newcastle United should be able to cover his salary. Chelsea have also asked for information, with Milan likely to face financial problems in signing him.
The Rossoneri’s manager Max Allegri is keen on reuniting with him. That is why initial contact has been made by sporting director Igli Tare, who has a good relationship with the 26-year-old’s agent.
Even if that is important, the monetary factors are not on Milan’s side.
As a result, Vlahovic’s likely destination is the Premier League due to the financial capacity of clubs in England. Newcastle United are doing early work to make sure they’re well placed.
