Dusan Vlahovic may finally be closing in on a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs, with Barcelona reportedly stepping up their interest in the Serbian striker. After waiting for an opportunity to join an elite side, the forward could now have the chance to continue his career in Spain if negotiations progress during this transfer window.
Barcelona are searching for a replacement following Robert Lewandowski’s departure this summer. The Polish striker played a significant role in the club’s success in recent seasons, and the Catalan side are now looking to strengthen their attacking options with another proven centre-forward.
Barcelona revive interest in Vlahovic
Vlahovic has reportedly been offered to Barcelona on several occasions, but the Spanish club had previously shown little interest in pursuing a deal. During that period, the Serbian also received an offer from Besiktas, although he was unwilling to leave Europe’s top leagues.
The striker instead considered reopening discussions with Juventus over a return to the club. The Bianconeri are reportedly prepared to welcome him back, but Barcelona’s renewed interest could provide an alternative option as he weighs up his future.
Move to Spain gathers momentum
According to Fichajes, Barcelona are now keen to add Vlahovic to their squad and view him as a player capable of becoming an important part of their plans. The report suggests Barca are looking to strengthen their attack after signing wide players but have yet to replace Lewandowski with a recognised central striker.
Signing Vlahovic on a free transfer would represent an attractive opportunity for Barcelona if an agreement can be reached. The report also states that the Serbian has lowered his contractual demands, a development that could improve the chances of completing a move to Catalonia before the transfer window closes.
With Barcelona still searching for a leading striker, Vlahovic’s situation could become one of the more closely followed stories of the summer as both player and club consider whether a deal can be finalised.
