Juventus have reportedly made it clear that Arsenal needs to pay 90 million for the signing of Dusan Vlahovic. The Gunners are hoping to secure his signature after the injury to Gabriel Jesus.
Italian giants are also open to selling their star striker in the January transfer window. However, it looks like the right price for the Serbian striker is not going to fit the January budget.
ARSENAL AND DUSAN VLAHOVIC TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY
Arsenal are reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. This is because the Serie A side are open to selling him for the right price in the January transfer window. The report also claims that the right price demanded by Juventus is likely too high for the Gunners. It claims that the Serie A giants will demand 90 million for the Serbian striker. Hence, it looks like Vlahovic is an out-of-budget option for the Premier League giants.
Another problem is Dusan Vlahovic is still not sure about going to Arsenal. He has already rejected the Gunners before going to Juventus. However, the move turned out to be a bad one for the Serbian. Although, Dusan Vlahovic hopes to improve his Juventus career. Therefore, personal terms are going to be a problem after the Gunners agree on a fee with Juventus. There are also claims that the Gunners are ready to offer Albert Sambi Lokonga plus cash to sign Dusan Vlahovic.
PREMIER LEAGUE RIVALS ARE ALSO KEEPING AN EYE ON THE SERBIAN STRIKER
According to reports, Manchester United and Chelsea are also showing interest in the Serbian striker. The Red Devils want to sign a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. Whereas, Chelsea are in an injury crisis. Armando Broja is out for 6 to 7 months. Hence, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the only fit striker. Another problem is Romelu Lukaku also does not want to come back to the club. He would like to continue his loan deal with Inter Milan in the next season.
Arsenal are also currently dealing with the injury of Gabriel Jesus. The knee injury will likely keep him for the next 2 to 3 months. Hence, the Brazilian striker will also miss almost the remainder of the season. Therefore, it is clear that all three teams interested will benefit from the signing of Dusan Vlahovic. Hence, Juventus can start a bidding war for their Serbian striker. The money from the potential sale will help their money problems they are currently facing.
Hence, Juventus will hope that Arsenal or any of Chelsea or Manchester United pay the mega price tag for Dusan Vlahovic. They will also hope that the Serbian striker is open to a potential move to the Premier League. However, at the moment it looks like the interested sides will have to put all of their January budget on the line to complete the Dusan Vlahovic signing.
