Arsenal supporters might want to prepare themselves for another saga involving Dusan Vlahovic.
This time last year, the Gunners were heavily linked with a move to sign Vlahovic.
In the end, the Serbia international snubbed Arsenal to join Juventus from Fiorentina in a £66 million transfer [Sky Sports].
Fabrizio Romano revealed last week via HITC Sport that those negotiations left a bitter taste in the mouth of Mikel Arteta and Edu, who would not be returning for the 22-year-old this time around.
But in Italy, a different narrative is being spun.
According to La Repubblica, Arsenal most definitely are back in to sign Vlahovic this time around.
The report adds that the Italian outfit would be looking for around £97.5 million to bring him to North London.
CMW also claim today that Arsenal are still keen on the player, but that a transfer wouldn’t materialise until the summer.
The Emirates Stadium outfit look to be on the brink of signing Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk.
And with the 21-year-old likely to cost around £80 million, well it doesn’t leave much left over for a mega-money move for the former Fiorentina hitman.
But with Juve in financial strife, selling their assets is likely going to be considered.
And if Arsenal do wait until next summer, they must be prepared for a dogfight because rest assured, there will be other interested clubs, too.
