Dusan Vlahovic in the spotlight: The fierce competition facing FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona seems to be losing ground in the race for Dusan Vlahovic. The 25-year-old forward is one of the alternatives to Robert Lewandowski that the Blaugrana management is considering, but the economic aspirations of Juventus and the interest from at least two 'heavyweights' in the Premier League lead the Catalans to prioritize other options, understanding that 'Lewy will stay for another year at the club.

According to the English portal 'CaughtOffside', the Serbian could leave the 'Old Lady' for a price close to 40 million euros, although other media like 'SportMediaset' claim that Juve will accept 30 'kilos' net for the '9'. The 25-year-old forward has not had a bad season, but he has lost the confidence of coach Thiago Motta in recent weeks, although on Sunday he scored the winning goal against Cagliari.

The Premier League, a possible destination for Dusan Vlahovic

With this, Vlahovic has 14 goals and 2 assists in 31 appearances over 2,151 minutes, and in England, several 'heavyweights' are keeping an eye on his future. Among them are Arsenal and Chelsea, two clubs that need to bring in a goalscorer next summer. Both would be in a position to meet the minimum price set by Juventus, as it is an affordable amount for a forward who has scored over 100 goals in Serie A (104 between Fiorentina and Juve).

In this sense, Barça could step back from the 'race' for the Serbian, as the Blaugrana's priority is to invest a high amount in a left winger. In the Italian league, the most coveted option for the Catalans is Rafael Leao, who is also expected to leave AC Milan in the upcoming summer market. The options of Nico Williams and Luis Díaz are also not ruled out, as any of the three involves a price around 60-80M €. Leao, without a doubt, would be the most expensive.
