"A race between Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester United is underway for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. It is reported that the 25-year-old could leave the Bianconeri in January following the form of Canada international Jonathan David, with the Serie A side ready to make him their long-term starter. While the Bundesliga champions recently made an enquiry for Vlahovic, the Premier League clubs are believed to be in the lead for him."
"He would have been a cheaper option. I heard this was the idea of Christoph Freund, the director of sport, who works under Max Eberl. He was working for Salzburg, and he has an idea about how to develop this kind of player. In the end, it was the price - about €20m-25m [£17.4m-21.8m] - they talked about. But at this point, the bosses on Bayern's supervisory board made it clear that the club was only allowed to commit to loan deals."
Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester United are competing to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, with the 25-year-old potentially set to depart in January. Juventus could make Vlahovic their long-term starter, but Jonathan David's form has influenced transfer thinking. Premier League clubs are currently believed to lead the chase, though Bayern recently enquired. Bayern's interest will likely hinge on Harry Kane's future, with a January decision prompting possible rapid action. Bayern considered FC Midtjylland's Franculino Dju as a cheaper alternative, but price demands of around €20-25m and the club's loan-only constraint ended that pursuit. Bayern's news cycle remains active during the international break.
