Newcastle United will be offered the chance to sign Dusan Vlahovic as the striker considers leaving Juventus this summer.

It’s stated that Vlahovic may look to leave Juve this summer having seemingly fallen out with boss Massimiliano Allegri.

The report claims that agents are now targeting Newcastle, Chelsea and Manchester United are all being offered Vlahovic.

Any deal for the Juventus attacker will be very expensive though.

Juve paid around £63million for Vlahovic in January 2022 and may demand up to £80million for the Serbian.

Add in wages of around £220,000-a-week and Vlahovic won’t come cheap at all.

Newcastle paid big money for a new striker last summer as Alexander Isak arrived, and we saw him really impress against Wolverhampton Wanderers today.

Yet with Chris Wood gone and Callum Wilson struggling of late, maybe Newcastle could be tempted into moving for Vlahovic.

Premier League clubs will surely fancy Dusan Vlahovic

Vlahovic is considered to be one of the top strikers in Europe and has scored eight times in 16 Serie A game this season.

The Serbian still has plenty of untapped potential at just 23 and if Juventus aren’t sure, a Premier League club surely will be.

Chelsea and Manchester United both make sense here given their need for a proper striker.

Both clubs will be looking to spend big on a striker this summer and Vlahovic could fit the bill.

Newcastle are now another team to keep tabs on and Arsenal may be in the mix too.

The Times reported late in December that Arsenal were interested in signing Vlahovic after an injury to Gabriel Jesus.

No January deal was done but if Vlahovic is available this summer, the Gunners may have another look.

Hailed by Juventus hero Alessio Tacchinardi as ‘extraordinary’, Vlahovic will be a name for Newcastle fans to keep close tabs on in the coming weeks and months.
