Arsenal hatch Dusan Vlahovic transfer plan after talks twist – sources

Arsenal are keeping tabs on Dusan Vlahovic’s contract situation at Juventus, sources have told Football Insider.

The Serbia international, who is a long-term striker target for the Gunners, is out of contract in Turin in June 2026.

Arsenal were interested in Vlahovic before he left Fiorentina for Juve in January 2022.

Talks are ongoing between the 24-year-old and the Old Lady but club and player are currently locked in a contract standoff.

The Gunners will add him to their shortlist as they target a move for a proven striker in the coming transfer windows.

Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen and Alexander Isak have also been identified as potential solutions for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Sources say Juventus could be forced to cash in on Vlahovic next summer if he cannot be persuaded to pledge his long-term future to the club, a development which will put Arsenal on high alert.

He has hit seven goals and notched two assists in 17 appearances across all competitions this term.

The 32-cap Serbia ace has scored 50 goals in 118 Juventus appearances since joining for a reported £66.6million almost three years ago.
