Arsenal has been interested in signing Dusan Vlahovic since at least 2021 when the Serbian striker was in excellent form at Fiorentina. The Gunners made several attempts to bring him to the Emirates, but Vlahovic ultimately chose to move to Juventus instead.
He remains at Juventus, but Arsenal’s interest in the Serbian forward has never waned. The Gunners are still searching for a top-class striker to complete their squad, and with Juventus looking to sell Vlahovic at the end of this season, Arsenal may finally have a chance to secure his signature.
Vlahovic has long been a player of interest to Arsenal, and supporters are hopeful that the club will ramp up their pursuit of him as the season draws to a close. Juventus are reportedly eager to offload the striker, and with just one year left on his contract, Arsenal could be in a strong position to strike a deal.
Previously, Vlahovic had been valued at around 75 million euros, but Juventus are now willing to lower their demands. According to a report from Calciomercato, the Old Lady will now consider offers of around 40 million euros for the striker, recognising that his value has dropped as he approaches the final year of his contract. Juventus are determined not to lose him on a free transfer, and they hope to secure a fee for him while they still can.
Vlahovic has the potential to make a significant impact at Arsenal, and there is no doubt that the club’s continued interest in him is based on the belief that he could be the missing piece to their attacking puzzle. With his ability to score goals and lead the line, he could be an excellent addition to the squad at the Emirates.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
With due respect, I don’t think he’ll bring any improvement to Arsenal. …..
He won’t. We need to just sign Sesko early in the window and be done with it. Tired of the dragged out sagas. Vlahovic is not the answer.
Not good enough
Well we aren’t getting Isak. And there will not be a striker on the market that is better than Sesko.
Ty, my thoughts align with yours. Isak or sesko should be just fine.
We need 2 CFs, if that is his price, somebody needs to fly to Turin and seal the deal if the lad wants to play at AFC.
Yes as an ambitious club. lets have Sesko and Dusan. Enough of GabbyJ and the Kai experiment. Neither are 15 goals a season striker in 38 matches.
40M is similar to what we were conned for Fabio, Merino. Plus the UCL needs to be won too.
But knowing Mikel’s apathy for strikers, we will end with Gabby J and Kai leading the line in August. Then the proverbial “Just a player short from winning the title”
I actually agree in an ideal world, this will be a solid lineup. 40M in today’s market is not a bad price. Honestly, the issue most of us have against Kai was not him as a player, it was his price tag. Knowing we are not playing FIFA here, I think the only chance this may happen is that we trade Kai for a good price. Not having that means not only this, but many other scenarios will be simply water under the bridge.
Vlahovic may be better than any striker we currently have at Arsenal, but he has a big downside if only people could be bothered to look.
What’s his downside?
Try looking! Perhaps starting with Googling Vlahoviv/PSG Ultras. But you already knew that.
Vlahovic/PSG Ultras
That has nothing to do with us. PSG Ultras have been known to be perhaps the most dangerous supporters in the game. I don’t like the guy, but I’m not sure our fans will go as far as spilling his blood. He hasn’t done us any evil. And for the reported price, it’s a good deal although Osimhen or Kolo Muani will be my preferred choice
Of course our fans wouldn’t hurt him, but my point was that he’s a really unpleasant person. In fact I’d like to see us avoid all players from the area once known own as Yugoslavia.
I don’t think country of origin should be a yardstick for judging players. Will you refuse to sign prime Messi if he was from that region?
While I’ve not seen any concrete evidence of him being an unpleasant person, I was irritated with the manner in which we were treated when we went for him. It was said they stopped picking up the phone. That was disrespectful. I’ll take him in the summer alongside another striker. He hasn’t even set Serie A on fire since his big move.
I think it best to avoid players, Messi included, from a region where there are several national conflicts. And there is evidence of a political gesture by Vlahovic during an international. We do have a youngster, English born, but who has represented Serbia at inernationa levels, so I’m hoping that turns out well.
And yes there is the issue of a massive snub by his reps.
PS, perhaps I’d be persuaded to take a Messi or Modric😉
International levels
A lively Vlahovic could take to Arsenal like duck to water, I sanction this deal
A very good striker, we should sign him in the summer. Good aerial ability, good finishing and can hold the ball well. The only thing lacking is his defensive duties, which I am sure arteta will correct.
Vlahovic is another Sebastian Frey – apparently we’re going to sign him every single transfer window.
It’s not happening, people!
We are not really interested in him. He is way down the list.
No thank you. We have waited so long and we need to set the bar higher.
Pass, there was an opportunity couple years ago and he chose elsewhere. Also, if it was true they stopped answering the phone calls from Arsenal, then pass even faster. Actions have consequences, and burning bridges even more so.
Quite average honestly, and seems to come with a busload of baggage.
