Barça is reportedly keeping a close eye on Dusan Vlahovic. Juventus would be open to parting ways with the Serbian, and the Catalans are considering his signing for the attack

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Dusan Vlahovic is set to be one of the key players in the upcoming summer transfer market. The forward's future at Juventus is far from guaranteed, as his relationship with coach Thiago Motta is practically nonexistent, and the club, despite not having explicitly put him up for sale, would be willing to transfer him if a suitable offer comes in.

Negotiations for the Serbian's contract renewal are completely stalled, and all indications suggest that the player will seek a new destination for the next season. Clubs like Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have explored the possibility of acquiring his services, but 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' has revealed that FC Barcelona is also closely monitoring the forward.

Barça could sign him at an affordable price

With a contract until 2026, Juventus would look to profit from his transfer before losing him for free, a situation that could be seized by the Catalans to negotiate his purchase at a manageable price. In the Catalan city, they are already planning for the 'post-Robert Lewandowski' future, and Vlahovic would be among the most attractive options to replace him in the center of the attack.

For now, there is nothing concrete, and Barça has only expressed its interest in the player. However, other alternatives like Alexander Isak or Viktor Gyökeres are also very appealing to the Barça sports management, which continues with the 'casting' of strikers in search of the ideal replacement for 'Lewy' in the forefront of Hansi Flick's team.
