Fiorentina have already started identifying potential replacements for Dusan Vlahovic amid links to Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
That’s according to a report from Italian newspaper La Nazione.
Fiorentina have learned that Vlahovic wants to leave, rejecting a huge new deal that would have made him the highest-paid player at the club.
Losing the Serbian star would be a huge blow, and Fiorentina are already eyeing strikers to replace him.
Pisa target man Lorenzo Lucca is wanted, with Torino’s Andrea Belotti also on the list. Roma’s Borja Mayoral and Cagliari’s Keita Balde are on Fiorentina’s radar too.
Vlahovic wanted by Liverpool and Tottenham in January
Tuttosport reported earlier today that Liverpool are moving for Vlahovic ahead of the winter transfer window.
The Reds will lose Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to the Africa Cup of Nations, so want more attacking firepower.
Calciomercato added last month that Tottenham are preparing a January bid for Vlahovic.
Fabio Paratici wanted Vlahovic over the summer, and Tottenham are now looking to make a new move.
With the 21-year-old rejecting that new deal, a January move could be on the cards before the enters the final year of his deal.
Vlahovic likened to Zlatan and Haaland
Vlahovic smashed 21 goals in 37 games for Fiorentina last season. The Serbian already has six goals in eight games for Fiorentina this term, continuing his rise.
Many now believe that Vlahovic could be the next great European striker of his generation, with big comparisons made.
Stevan Jovetic compared Vlahovic to Erling Haaland, believing they will be neck and neck as Europe’s top hitmen.
Vlahovic even compared himself to Zlatan Ibrahimovic during his time at Partizan Belgrade, and he’s living up to that with his superb scoring exploits.
