According to a report from TEAMtalk, Aston Villa are interested in acquiring the services of Dusan Vlahovic as they look to add more firepower to their attack. Unai Emery’s team have received a massive boost as Juventus are ready to sell for a discounted price.
Vlahovic made a name for himself at Fiorentina before joining the Old Lady at the start of 2022. The Turin-based outfit forked out a massive fee for the Serbian international. While he has done a decent job for them, the 25-year-old hasn’t been consistent enough. He hasn’t really lived up to the expectations.
With his contract running out in a year’s time and Juventus struggling financially, they are ready to sanction his departure. The Old Lady were initially looking for a fee close to €30 million to sell the Serbian striker. But since not many clubs are interested in his services, they have decided to slash the price down to just €15 million.
They have no intentions of losing out on him for free next season. With a new deal for him nowhere in the picture, they are ready to sell him for a bargain fee, as it would be a significant boost for their wage bill.
It will also help the Turin-based club focus on their efforts to keep Randal Kolo Muani at the club following his impressive loan spell. The funds raised could make it easier for them to strike a deal with PSG.
While now many clubs are after Vlahovic’s signature, Aston Villa seem interested in him. Unai Emery is looking for a new striker following the return of Marcus Rashford to Manchester United. While they wanted to re-sign him, it looks very unlikely.
The Juventus striker could prove to be an ideal alternative. However, they haven’t followed up since making those initial contacts to learn more about a potential transfer. The reduced asking price could certainly help their cause, but it remains to be seen if they step up their interest in him.
