Newcastle United Target Juventus Striker Dusan Vlahovic in Summer Transfer Window

 

Reports suggest that Newcastle United has received an approach from the agent of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic regarding a potential switch to the Premier League. The Serbia international signed for Juventus in January 2022 and still has three years remaining on his contract.

However, having impressed and become Massimiliano Allegri’s top-performing offensive player during his 59 appearances, he has emerged as a potential summer target for Eddie Howe and Newcastle United.

CBS reporter Ben Jacobs confirmed that Newcastle United have sent scouts to watch the 23-year-old live in action “in the past”, which suggests that Vlahovic is a player of interest for the club. According to 90min, Vlahovic’s representatives have told Premier League clubs that their client is keen on a move to England during the upcoming transfer window.

The Juventus forward is looking to leave the Serie A outfit after becoming unsettled due to inconsistent game time and most recently receiving abuse from fans. His camp is trying to pull off his preferred scenario of a transition to the top-flight.

Newcastle United, as well as Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Aston Villa, are all reportedly interested in signing the £216k-per-week striker. While Newcastle United already have Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson as their options at centre-forward, Vlahovic’s price tag remains to be seen. If the fee demanded by Juventus is affordable for the board, then Newcastle United should make an attempt to bring him to the northeast.

Vlahovic, a left-footed “machine” as lauded by talent scout Jacek Kulig, has recorded 110 goal contributions (94 goals and 16 assists) in 216 appearances throughout his career, showcasing his ability to take and create chances. He’s also recorded a total of 59 shots since the start of the current season, which is higher than any other player at Juventus, as per FBRef. The World Cup participant has previously been recognized for his individual impact, having received the Serie A’s Best Young Player award back in 2021, demonstrating the standard of performance that he’s capable of producing.

Should Vlahovic sign for Newcastle United, he would surely become a supporters’ favorite down the line if he can replicate his form in the black and white stripes.
