Arsenal confident over potential €60m transfer as they keep an eye on striker’s contract negotiations

Arsenal is closely watching the situation of Dusan Vlahovic at Juventus due to his completely broken-down negotiations over a possible extension with the Italian club. Once having recorded interest in him, the Gunners weigh up the striker among many others for the next summer window.

The signings of Viktor Gyokeres, Alexander Isak, Jonathan David, and Marcus Thuram are still targets of Arsenal. Considering that Vlahovic has a deal at Juventus until 2026, the Gunners can try their luck in signing him on considerably friendlier terms since the Serbian international is still available come next summer.

CaughtOffside have previously reported that Juventus could be forced into selling Vlahovic for as low as €60 million, or even less, this summer if an agreement can’t be reached with himself this coming summer. Arsenal are keen to explore this approach given Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his attacking lineup.

The Gunners, for now, rely on Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, as they lack a reliable striker. Havertz has performed very well in that position, though by nature, he is not a forward. Jesus, despite being so talented, has suffered injuries and failed in consistency since being introduced to Arsenal.

Although not at his best since leaving Fiorentina, Vlahovic would be a good addition to the Gunners’ squad. The question might be asked, though, by the supporters about whether he is really the perfect fit for their future plans when one considers other strong targets like Sesko, Gyokeres, and Isak.

The Gunners would still consider weighing their options in the forthcoming summer window and finding out which striker fits them best, along with their future plans. That situation regarding Vlahovic is one everybody should be keeping an eye out for in the coming months.
