Earlier on Thursday, we covered a rather big story in Italy about Tottenham’s interest in Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.
The story came from Gazzetta dello Sport, who suggested an offer of around €40m had reached the Italian club’s offices, who kindly said no and asked for €60m.
The Premier League side are looking around for both a backup for Harry Kane and a potential replacement should he leave for greener pastures, and the 21-year-old fits the bill.
Capable of scoring aplenty and presenting a strong physique, just like the England international, the Serbian would make sense, especially since Fabio Paratici is a big fan.
Later on Thursday, Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Carlo Laudisa doubled down on the story when speaking to Radio Bruno, relayed by Viola News.
He said: “It’s understandable that Tottenham, with Kane in the sights of Manchester City, look around: Fiorentina have said no for now, but the €60m value can be dangerous. I don’t like to venture into predictions, I limit myself to facts, and the facts say that Tottenham’s interest is concrete.
“If the English club were to collect more than €120m for Kane, they would have no problem offering €60m for Vlahovic. His contract? For months, I have received a very specific signal that cannot be ignored: for now, there is no intention of renewing”.
Scoring 21 goals in Serie A last season, Vlahovic is by far Fiorentina’s most bankable asset, and yet he is the one they’d really like to keep.
Until someone gives them the money they want, they can hope for the best, but if Harry Kane were to go, then it’d be a very different story.
