Arsenal could be handed the chance to sign Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus in the summer, with a €40m at most price put on him.
That’s according to Calciomercato, who say the Serbian striker could be practically gift wrapped for Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
They explain that Randal Kolo Muani’s impressive performances since arriving on loan from Paris Saint Germain has led to a decision needing to be made in the summer.
His performances have pushed Vlahovic to become a reserve, and the belief is that he is destined to have a future far from away from Juventus.
The striker’s situation is ‘very delicate’ as his current contract expires in June 2026 so this summer is the last in which they can sell before potentially losing him on a free. Juventus could not afford that and so the striker will be put on the market.
Juventus could even settle for a ‘non-significant figure’ in the event of a sale, with his valuation ‘€40m at most’. The club are more interested in getting rid of Vlahovic’s heavy salary, valued at €12m net for 2025/26.
They already thought about a salary in January, knowing that Arsenal, PSG and one Saudi Arabian club were interested. The Gunners are long-term admirers and there is a growing acceptance that Mikel Arteta’s side need to sign a striker.
They would face competition from PSG, who could do a swap deal with Kolo Muani. Either way, at €40m there’s a deal there to be done for the Gunners this summer.
