Juventus Striker Vlahovic Eyed by Man Utd, Chelsea, and Bayern in Free Transfer Race
4 Oct
Summary
- Juventus' top scorer Vlahovic expected to leave club on free transfer in 2023
- Man Utd, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich interested in signing the Serbian striker
- Juventus tried to extend Vlahovic's contract but failed, now resigned to losing him
According to recent reports, Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is expected to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the 2022-23 season. The 25-year-old Serbian international joined Juventus in January 2022 for a hefty €80 million fee, but has struggled to consistently justify his high price tag.
Despite this, Vlahovic has remained Juventus' top goalscorer in every full campaign he has spent with the club so far. However, the Serie A giants have been unable to agree on a contract extension with the player, and have now resigned themselves to losing him for free next summer.
This situation has naturally piqued the interest of several top European clubs, with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich all reportedly vying for Vlahovic's signature. The Premier League and Bundesliga giants are all said to be willing to wait until the end of the season to secure the striker on a free transfer, rather than negotiate a mid-season deal with Juventus.

Vlahovic's potential departure would be a significant blow for Juventus, who had hoped to build their attack around the talented forward. However, the player's unwillingness to extend his contract has left the club with little choice but to prepare for his exit in 2023.
