Dusan Vlahovic Chelsea transfer latest: PSG direct contact, Arsenal stance, player preference
Dusan Vlahovic, the highly sought-after Serbian forward, has been at the center of transfer speculation for the past couple of years. While there have been persistent links to a move to the Premier League, it appears that Vlahovic has a preference for joining a Ligue 1 club, specifically Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Vlahovic joined Juventus in January 2022, rejecting a potential move to Arsenal. The Gunners were interested in signing the 23-year-old during the January transfer window as a replacement for the injured Gabriel Jesus, but they opted to sign Leandro Trossard instead. However, it seems that Vlahovic's time at Juventus could be coming to an end.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, PSG has made their first move in the transfer race for Vlahovic. They have been in direct contact with the player's representatives and are well informed about the requirements to sign him. In fact, Serbian reports suggest that Vlahovic is keen on a move to PSG and is waiting for their formal offer. However, Juventus has reportedly ruled out a loan deal with an option to buy.
On the other hand, Chelsea has also shown interest in Vlahovic, but as of now, there have been no formal negotiations between the London club and Juventus. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano stated that Chelsea appreciates Vlahovic but signing a new striker might take some time. Chelsea has set a price limit of €60 million (£51.5 million) for his acquisition.
There is also mention of Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid being potential destinations for Vlahovic, as suggested by his agent Darko Ristic. Additionally, Juventus is said to be considering Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta as a potential replacement for Vlahovic.
The latest reports suggest that Chelsea has made an initial bid of €60 million (£51.5 million) for Vlahovic, which was rejected by Juventus. The Italian club is reportedly seeking a transfer fee of £77 million to let the 23-year-old leave.
Overall, it seems that Vlahovic's future remains uncertain, with multiple clubs vying for his signature. While PSG appears to have an advantage, Chelsea, Manchester United, and even Arsenal have been mentioned as interested parties. The coming months will likely provide more clarity on where Vlahovic will end up as the transfer saga unfolds.
