Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović could be on the move soon if he doesn't reach an agreement on a new contract, with his current deal set to expire in 2026. This has caught the attention of several suitors looking to lure the 24-year-old away from Turin.

Vlahović has been in strong form this season, scoring ten goals in 18 appearances across all competitions. However, his failure to sign a new contract has raised doubts about his long-term future at the club.

A recent report from TEAMtalk suggests that Juventus see his wage demands as too high, which could open the door for wealthier Premier League clubs to make a move.

The report reveals that Arsenal have reached out again to Vlahović's representatives, as Juventus manager Thiago Motta is reportedly not entirely satisfied with how the forward fits into his system.

Manchester United enter Dušan Vlahović transfer race

Football Insider reported on Wednesday, citing sources, that Manchester United have added Vlahović to their striker shortlist. The report notes that the Red Devils are monitoring the 24-year-old’s situation at Juventus with his contract set to end in June 2026.

Discussions between Vlahović and the Old Lady are still ongoing, but both the club and the player are currently at a standstill over his contract, leaving his long-term future uncertain.

TEAMtalk reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that Arsenal are eyeing a January move for Vlahović, seeing him as a more attainable target than other Premier League stars. The Gunners have long been fans of the Serbia international, and their interest in him is as strong as ever.
