According to Juve Live, Juventus are now ready to offload Dejan Kulusevski for €30m (£25m), with Arsenal and Tottenham interested in the forward.
What’s the story?
Well, both Arsenal and Tottenham’s interest in Kulusevski is mentioned in Juve Live‘s report, which offers them plenty of encouragement.
The Italian news outlet believe Juventus want to sell the 20-cap Sweden international in order to fund a move for Dusan Vlahovic.
Interestingly, Spurs hold an advantage here, as Juve Live believe Juventus would happily sell their No.44 to Antonio Conte.
Tottenham have strong links to the Italian giants, as both Conte and Sporting Director Fabio Paratici used to work at the Allianz Stadium.
That will not be music to the ears of Mikel Arteta.
The 21-year-old Swede is a huge prospect, so much so that Paratici spent £29.7m to sign him from Atalanta when he was just 19.
Difficult situation for Arsenal and Tottenham
As aforesaid, Juventus want to sell Kulusevski to fund a move for Vlahovic.
However, the Fiorentina No.9 – who has scored 12 goals in 14 games this season – is also wanted by both north London clubs.
It was Gianluca Di Marzio who revealed that Arsenal had made contact over the signing of Vlahovic.
Elsewhere, it was Sport Media Set who claimed that Tottenham were keen.
Now, both Spurs and the Gunners must decide if they’d rather take Kulusevski and hand Juventus a free run at Vlahovic, or attempt to make a move for the Serbian themselves.
It really is a tough situation for both sides.
Keep an eye on this saga, with both Kulusevski and Vlahovic destined for the exit door regardless of their destination.
