Juventus lower asking price for Arsenal transfer target | OneFootball

Juventus are ready to offload striker Dusan Vlahovic for just £33m in the summer as the forward approaches the final 12 months of his contract.

Vlahovic has failed to agree terms on an extension at Juventus and the Italian side are unwilling to allow the Serbian striker to enter the final season of his deal.

The 25-year-old has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season but has lost his place as an automatic starter in Turin.

Randal Kolo Muani’s arrival from Paris Saint-Germain in January has increased competition for a place and Vlahovic has not started any of the club’s last five league games.

Arsenal have a long-standing interest in Vlahovic. Mikel Arteta was interested in a deal before the forward’s €70m move to Juventus from Fiorentina in January 2022. The Gunners are assessing centre-forward options ahead of the summer and news of Vlahovic’s availability could pique interest from North London.

Calciomercato claim Juventus would be willing to sanction his sale for just €40m (£33m) as the Old Lady look to raise funds for a permanent deal for Kolo Muani. The latter has scored five times in six games since his loan move from PSG.

Manchester United have also been linked with Vlahovic. In the January transfer window, there was tentative talk of a potential swap deal involving Joshua Zirkzee. Juventus boss Thiago Motta previously worked with Zirkzee at former club Bologna.

Arsenal are currently without a recognised forward after Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz sustained season-ending injuries. The Gunners have also been heavily linked with a move to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
