Reports indicate that Arsenal has revived their interest in Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in anticipation of the upcoming summer transfer window.
Previously, Arsenal had expressed serious interest in acquiring the Serbian forward in January 2022. However, Vlahovic ultimately joined Juventus in a deal valued at approximately €83m, prompting Arsenal to pursue other options, eventually securing Gabriel Jesus the following summer.
Despite facing challenges during his time in Turin, Vlahovic has maintained an impressive performance record this season for Juventus, scoring 17 goals in 33 matches. With just over two years remaining on his contract, Juventus is eager to extend his deal by at least a year. This move aims to spread out his amortization costs and manage his substantial net salary of €12m.
According to details on page 13 of today’s Tuttosport, Arsenal has initiated efforts to target Vlahovic ahead of the summer transfer window. The club seeks a dependable goalscorer to bolster their ranks and compete with Premier League powerhouses like Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta’s team has long been in need of a consistent source of goals. Gabriel Jesus, their current striker, has only managed to score eight goals in 33 appearances this season. Additionally, Vlahovic’s contractual situation at Juventus could facilitate a potential move to Arsenal.
