DBasia.news – Rumors of Dusan Vlahovic’s move from Fiorentina to Juventus are increasingly circulating. Barcelona are also anxiously awaiting the clarity of this transfer.
Fiorentina have confirmed to release Vlahovic in the winter transfer window. Even though the player’s contract will expire in mid-2023.
Arsenal quickly became the leading candidate to obtain Vlahovic’s services. The Gunners do need a new striker to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
But Vlahovic seems hesitant to accept Arsenal’s proposal. The Serbian player wants to move to a club that is challenging for the title.
Juventus used this situation to hijack Vlahovic. The Bianconeri are said to have immediately made an official offer to Fiorentina to obtain the services of the striker.
Barcelona themselves do not have a direct relationship with Vlahovic’s move to Juventus. But this transfer will pave the way for El Barca to sign Alvaro Morata.
Barcelona did intend to bring Morata on loan. The Spanish national team striker is plotted to be the main spearhead to replace the role of Sergio Aguero.
Barcelona’s intention to bring Morata was denied by Juventus coach, Massimiliano Allegri. But the presence of Vlahovic would certainly make him change his mind.
Interestingly, Barcelona did not automatically sign Morata despite receiving the blessing of Juventus. The club led by Joan Laporta still has to take into account the club’s salary burden limit.
In addition, Barcelona must also obtain permission from Atletico Madrid as the legal owner of Morata. The problem with the Catalan club is increasing as the transfer market will close in less than a week.
