Barcelona are prioritising a centre-forward in the summer transfer window, but it is unlikely to be Dusan Vlahovic. The Juventus striker is a free agent in the summer, and Barcelona could tie him to a pre-contract, but the chances of that happening seem to be on the slide.
The Serbian striker has been linked to Barcelona all season, and on multiple occasions, his representatives have spoken with Director of Football Deco. Vlahovic’s continuity at Juventus is not guaranteed, but with uncertainty over how much Barcelona can spend in the summer, Vlahovic looked an obvious potential solution to their issues.
Yet the latest from Catalonia is that Barcelona are unlikely to make a move for Vlahovic. Sport say that Barcelona have frozen talks with Vlahovic in recent weeks, and that unless there is a U-turn, will not offer him a contract. The Blaugrana informed themselves of the contract terms Vlahovic was asking for, and he was keen to move to Camp Nou, but he has been informed that he is not a priority this summer.
One of the reasons they have done so is that Barcelona do not feel he is the right fit stylistically. They are keen to bring in a more mobile number nine, rather than a fixed reference point.
