Even with Edinson Cavani staying for an extra year, Manchester United could still be in for a new striker this summer.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said as much, and with Harry Kane seemingly angling for a way out of Tottenham after all these years, the England international could be their prime target.

Should they fail to get the Spurs star, however, they could go for a player who offers a similar profile in Dusan Vlahovic.

Manchester United have been linked a few times before, but their name had disappeared a bit of late, perhaps due to the Cavani extension.

Nevertheless, Corriere dello Sport remedy that on Friday, looking at the Serbian’s situation in Italy, where Fiorentina are desperate to keep him and get him to sign a new contract.

That’s yet to happen, and the sweat is slowly starting to drip down the board members’ backs due to the number of clubs keen on their star striker’s services.

It’s explained Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Real Madrid have ‘knocked on his door’ regarding a potential move; all clubs who could do with a new goalscorer.

Corriere don’t provide us with a price, but thankfully La Nazione do on Friday, reporting that Vlahović’s current market price is around €60m.

That might seem like a hefty fee, but for a 21-year-old who has scored 21 league goals in an underperforming team and who has two years left on his current deal, it’s actually a decent price in today’s market.
