"According to Sport, the injury Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic picked up recently has made Barcelona cross his name off their list of potential long-term replacements for Robert Lewandowski. The 25-year-old left the pitch with an adductor problem just 31 minutes into Juve's clash with Cagliari at the end of November and is expected to miss several months of action. Vlahovic is in the final year of contract with Juventus, and that,"
"along with his age, had been a major appeal with the Catalans looking for a new hitman to compete with Ferran Torres for the role of leading their attacking line. On the other hand, his salary, believed to be €12million per season at Juventus, was already an obstacle from Barcelona's point of view. Furthermore, Barcelona apparently consider Vlahovic's output this season (eight goals and two assists in 20 competitive matches) as "modest figures"."
Dusan Vlahovic sustained an adductor injury at the end of November and is expected to miss several months. He exited Juventus's match with Cagliari after 31 minutes. The 25-year-old is in the final year of his contract with Juventus, and his age had been part of the appeal for Barcelona as a potential long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski. Barcelona were deterred by his reported €12 million-per-season salary and assessed his current output—eight goals and two assists in 20 competitive matches—as modest. With Barcelona withdrawing interest, AC Milan are now leading the race to sign him.
