Aston Villa have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Juventus star in summer. The player is very likely to be available in the market due to fallout with current club.
The star in question here is Dusan Vlahovic who joined Juve in January 2022. He was chased by Arsenal then too, but he opted to join Old Lady. Since then, he has played 133 games for Juve and has registered 55 goals along with 11 assists.
Vlahovic will enter the final year of his contract in summer. Juve are ready to offer new contract but are willing to lower the player’s wages. This has not went well with Serbian striker. As a result, he has opted to leave in upcoming summer window.
Gunners tried to sign Vlahovic in January window but then opted against it. But, they can re-enter the race in summer due to the transfer fee being dropped. It is said that Juve may agree a deal around only £33 million due to Vlahovic’s current contract situation.
Arsenal are in need of filling many positions in summer. Hence, signing a striker like Vlahovic on such a lower fee will surely excite them. But, they have now joined by their Premier League rivals in the race.
Aston Villa join the race to sign Dusan Vlahovic
According to TEAMtalk, Villa have joined the race to sign Vlahovic in summer. They want to replace Jhon Duran who recently left the club. In addition, they will also need replacement for Ollie Watkins soon in future.
Villa have Marcus Rashford on loan and they do have option to buy. But Unai Emery has used him as a winger so far. The player can play as a striker but it seems like Emery wants a proper number nine. Vlahovic can be a great addition to the Birmingham club.
