One former Manchester United scout recently provided insights that indicate his club will compete with Arsenal to secure Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina for signing him; due to an outstanding contract extension agreement. Vlahovic’s future currently hangs in the balance with both clubs due to an uncertain contract situation at Turin.
Vlahovic’s contract will run out in 2026 and there have been no developments regarding renewal, sparking speculation that Juventus might sell him at a slightly reduced price to avoid him leaving as a free transfer. This situation has aroused interest among major clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United; who want to add Vlahovic as part of their offensive options.
The Battle for Vlahovic: A Tale of Two Clubs
The competition to secure Vlahovic’s services is heating up with both Arsenal and Manchester United identified as potential suitors. The decision on where Vlahovic’s future lies could be influenced by various factors, including the prospect of immediate first-team football, the clubs’ visions, and perhaps the offer of better personal terms.
Speculation from Mick Brown, a former chief scout at Manchester United, suggests that the Red Devils are very much in the race and closely monitoring Vlahovic’s situation at Juventus. Manchester United’s interest in strengthening their front line has been a topic of discussion since the arrival of their new manager, with Vlahovic being one among several options considered.
However, Arsenal may offer Juventus something they cannot refuse: an attractive swap deal featuring Gabriel Jesus could give Arsenal an edge during negotiations and demonstrate how complex transfer dealings really work.
As the situation evolves, both clubs remain hopeful that Vlahovic can add value to their squads and the race between Manchester United and Arsenal to secure his signature will likely prove highly competitive. It remains to be seen which club prevails.
