According to sources who spoke to TEAMtalk, Arsenal is preparing a summer transfer for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic as Mikel Arteta tries to reinforce his assault. With two seasons in which they came up short against Manchester City, the Gunners have set their sights on winning the Premier League this year.
However, many have questioned if Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal’s current striker alternatives, are as productive as City’s outstanding player, Erling Haaland. But according to TEAMtalk insiders, Vlahovic is also on Arsenal’s wish list; therefore, there’s a strong likelihood he’ll be moving next summer. Although Juventus had no intention of letting Vlahovic leave the team at the moment, the North London club kept a close eye on him in January.
Arsenal Interested in Signing Serie A Forward Next Summer
The contract between Vlahovic and Juventus is scheduled to expire in 2026, and talks to extend it are presently at a stalemate. They may therefore be compelled to sell him next summer, but they will still expect a hefty price. Arsenal is monitoring a number of strikers in addition to Vlahovic and Gyokeres. As we previously reported, Marcus Thuram of Inter Milan, Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig, and Jonathan David of Lille are all targets.
Vlahovic is seen by Arsenal as a player who meets Arteta’s criteria for a prolific striker a guy who can routinely score more than 20 goals annually. Vlahovic’s condition presents an opportunity for the Gunners, who are certain, according to sources, to sign him for significantly less than the €80 million (£66.6 million; $89 million) price tag Juventus set in the summer.
