Arsenal and Juventus are considering a potential swap deal involving players from each other’s squads.
Juventus has been closely monitoring Charlie Patino during his loan spell at Swansea from Arsenal for several months, expressing a serious interest in signing him. Arsenal, in turn, has been following Dusan Vlahovic, a Juventus player, for two years.
Arsenal initially targeted Vlahovic during his time at Fiorentina, but he chose to move to Juventus instead. However, with Arsenal still in need of a new goalscorer, they remain interested in the Serbian striker.
TV Play suggests that both clubs could be open to a deal, with Arsenal potentially offering cash plus Patino in exchange for Vlahovic. The Serbian striker has not replicated the form he showed at Fiorentina and might be open to a move to London.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Patino plus cash for Vlahovic might be a win-win deal for us and Juventus, so it is an offer that we should probably consider.
The Old Lady loves Patino and wanted to sell Vlahovic, so they might be more than happy to do a deal with us.

Buying a striker who has failed at his current club, paying tens of millions in fees and wages and losing our brightest prospect since Wilshere/Fabregas, is not a perfect deal in my eyes.
Same here.
You might have known by know that Mikel hunts expensive flops. Kai, GabJ. Viera, …….
Dusan fits in perfectly. Pay him 350-400K/week.
Summer, approach the board for another 200M.
And if you need to destroy careers & confidence – we have the right fella. Ask Saka, Marteneli, ESR, Tierney, Trossad, ………………..
Have you EVER said anything positive about Arteta?
It appears that you are very happy we are on our losing blip so you can bash him in every comment!
What he/she said may be accurate to an extent, and a valid opinion that many share to a degree.
I do not understand why you would think Indian Gunner is happy we are losing. We can’t all be joyful in the face of mediocrity considering the large sums spent.
When Arteta does well he gets praise and when he fails it is only fair that he gets questioned.
I have known him a lot longer than you and he is total anti-Arteta in every comment. Rather like yourself…
Admin Pat, I have no reason to be pleased with Arteta. I’m not going to agree that after an investment of 800M GBP we cannot even win the League Cup. David Moyes won WHU the 3rd tier European competition, and that is an achievement. My club is paramount to me and no individual should think that he can damage the club with stupid decisions. I’m sure you too must be feeling the same that we squander every chance of winning something by hiring unfit average uninterested players. Are real fans happy with Halaand topping the charts while Gab J cannot cross 10/season? Are real fans happy that Allister & Szoboslai were hired by Liverpool for less that what we got Kai?
Maybe someone can write a post explaining what Arteta has won (other that the Shield & The FA with Unai’s team) and I would gladly change my perception of him. One EPL win in 5 which includes 3 losses as par with Sheff Utd gives me no joy.
Agree. Also, according to reports at the time, Vlahovic or his agent wouldn’t even communicate with Arsenal over a possible deal because he was so determined to play for Juventus. Don’t come calling now with love in your eyes Dusan.
The best option is world class consistent Santiago Gimenez, who scores 20 plus goals every year.
The mexican international has also so far scored an impressive 18 goals this season from only 16 games played.
Westham are about to make an accepted bid of £52 million for the 22 year old striker. He scores everywhere he goes, both domestic, international and in Europe.
If Westham beat Arsenal to this available striker then Arteta and Edu should be sacked.
Arsenal have the money. FFP rules state that Arsenal being the second largest financial club in England, can spend up to £248 million NET per season due to the financial size of the club, which is bigger than both Man City and Chelsea. The only club to have a bigger FFP NET spend limit is Man united at £262 million NET.
Seeing as Arsenal’s NET spend has so far this season been Apx £125 million after players in and out, that leaves Arsenal with a possible NET spend of £123 million. So no worries about breaking FFP Rules. No where near.
👍daveg, agree, Giminez is a better option and Patino can be retained to develop and fulfill his potential at Arsenal.
Arsenal should go for Gimenez and not for a flop who once snubbed Arsenal
Daveg.Interesting if true.All the talk in the media is we HAVE to sell first?
The whole FFP narrative is a smokescreen for ownership. As has been shown in the past, there are multiple ways around it if the will is there.
Havertz experiment based on past glory has failed woefully. Now Arsenal want another Havertz just immediately?
Why not reinforce the midfield and defence to make sure they can help the present attack to play better and then buy the right attacker in the future.
Our attack is failing because we miss Partey and Xhaka. Simply play Smith Rowe or Partey instead of Havertz with a good defence instead of buying a failed Vlahovic.
Even Broja’s stats aren’t very convincing for Arsenal. It’s better to hold on and do the right thing in the summer instead of bringing in more doubtful signings like Vieira, Lokonga, Tavares and Marquinhos.
Vieira and Havertz are a combined 100M+ wasted. It was very very poor scounting.
We should learn from these examples and do better in the future.
A good midfield and defence reincoforcement will improve the present attack
Bought Havertz, yet loan out Patino, obviously overlooking the young talent Arsenal is developing.
