As FC Barcelona prepare for a potential summer overhaul at centre-forward, Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has reportedly made the Catalan club his top destination, aiming to succeed Robert Lewandowski once his contract expires.
Vlahovic prioritises Barcelona over other suitors
According to Tuttosport via SPORT, the Serbian forward has instructed his representatives to keep Barcelona as the primary objective for the summer, viewing a move to the Camp Nou as his ideal next step.
Should Barcelona not act, Vlahovic remains open to negotiating a renewal with Juventus, even at reduced terms, despite potential interest from Premier League clubs.
Although Vlahovic has been discussed internally at Barcelona, he is not currently considered the club’s preferred target.
The Blaugrana’s sporting department is looking for a striker with more mobility who can link play effectively and press with intensity, with Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid still topping the wishlist.
Vlahovic has been sidelined since November due to an adductor injury but is close to returning to full fitness.
He is eager to prove he can perform at the highest level and hopes that his free-agent status will give him leverage to join Barcelona this summer.
Time will tell whether the Catalan club acts on his interest or if the Serbian forward must adjust his plans accordingly.
