One of the positions that FC Barcelona intend to bolster in the summer transfer window is the centre-forward slot. Robert Lewandowski, at 37, does not have a guaranteed future at the club with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. The Blaugrana will need to rope in a replacement for the veteran Pole, given that an extension is starting to look unlikely as things stand. One of the options being considered happens to be Juventus centre-forward Dusan Vlahovic, whose contract also runs out this summer.
The veteran striker will officially join the Serie A giants when the January transfer window opens, having reached an agreement to end his disappointing 18-month spell at the London Stadium. Fullkrug wants to play himself into form in Milan ahead of next summer's World Cup. He will also hope to seal a permanent move to the Rossoneri, although recent reports would suggest that the chances of this happening are far from certain.
According to a report from Fichajes, they have already opened talks with the Italian club regarding a move for the player. They are hoping to get the deal done for 20 million. The reported fee would be a bargain for a player of his quality. He has shown his ability in Italy, and he has the physicality to succeed in England as well.
Tottenham Hotspur have been named as 'one of the best-positioned teams' to sign a top Bayern Munich and Germany midfielder who would deliver an immediate upgrade to Thomas Frank's weak engine room. The Spurs boss appears to go from game to game not actually knowing what his best midfield make-up is, constantly chopping and changing the likes of Bayern loanee Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.
Earlier in the summer, Dusan Vlahovic had emerged as one of the potential attacking targets for Barcelona. The Catalans, after all, were looking for someone who could serve as a long-term replacement for the ageing Robert Lewandowski. Vlahovic, to that end, had emerged as the ideal candidate due to his style of play and what he can offer inside the box. Barcelona no longer interested in Vlahovic
Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid are among the clubs in Europe keeping close tabs on the situation of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Bianconeri are yet to make progress on a potential contract renewal for the 25-year-old as they are unwilling to continue his current €12m-per-season deal, but would be open to signing him to an extension on a reduced salary.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all looking at Ajax midfielder Jorthy Mokio, according to TEAMtalk. Barcelona and Real Madrid are also monitoring the 17-year-old, who made his first-team debut for Ajax last term and has played 60 minutes so far this season. He had already rejected offers from Barcelona and Bayern Munich to sign for Ajax from KAA Gent last year.
Rasmus Hojlund looks set to be stuck in transfer no-man's land for the foreseeable future, as Manchester United appears focused on new signings Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko.
