Manchester United’s need for a new striker was fulfilled in January when they signed Wout Weghorst on a dry loan deal from Burnley until the end of this season.
The Red Devils also looked at Juventus’ Dušan Vlahović in the winter market and had even made contact with his agent, Darko Ristic.
That’s according to Corriere Torino, who mention Manchester United in the report that discusses the striker’s future at the Serie A side beyond this season.
Although the Premier League side and a few other clubs had approached the 23-year-old’s representative last month, they have decided to postpone a potential deal for him until the summer.
It’s suggested Manchester United ‘above all’ will join a few other top European clubs in the race to sign the Serbia international.
He’s ‘transferable’ for the Old Lady and that’s mainly because doubts remain over the Old Lady’s long-term project due to off-field issues.
It’s unclear whether Juve will be able to participate in the Champions League next season, and in the midst of all this, Vlahović’s own ambitions and expectations need to be considered.
Therefore, Juventus would ‘very carefully’ evaluate the player’s sale in the next window if they were to receive an offer at least €90m.
Manchester United would be in the picture to sign the frontman in the summer, along with the likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and a few other clubs.
