Juventus ace Dušan Vlahović could be on the move soon if he doesn't agree to a new contract as his current deal expires in 2026. As a result, there are suitors attempting to lure the 24-year-old out of Turin.

Vlahović has been getting plenty of game time this season, netting nine goals in 17 appearances across all competitions.

However, he hasn’t signed a new deal with Juventus, raising questions about his long-term future with the Turin club.

A recent report from TEAMtalk claims that Juve considers his wage demands too high, potentially opening the door for wealthier Premier League clubs to swoop in.

Arsenal make a push for Dušan Vlahović amid uncertain future

TEAMtalk reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that Arsenal are considering a January move for Vlahović, viewing him as a more realistic target than a coveted Premier League star. The Gunners have long admired the Serbia international, and their interest remains undiminished.

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.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta sees Vlahović as a strong fit for Arsenal’s style of play, much like Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak is for his team.

TEAMtalk, citing sources, also noted that Juventus are open to offers in the range of €65 million and €70 million (£53.6 million and £57.7 million) for Vlahović. While Arsenal could make an attempt to sign him in January, a summer transfer may be more likely.

It will be interesting to see how this entire situation plays out but don't expect these rumors to go away anytime soon.
