Vlahovic dreams of Barcelona… and a scenario brings him closer

Serbian Dusan Vlahovic, the Juventus striker, is clinging to his dream of wearing a Barcelona shirt next season, although the Catalan club do not rank him among their current priorities in the transfer market.

According to Catalan newspaper Sport, Vlahovic is set to hold a decisive meeting with Juventus management in the coming hours in a last-ditch effort to resolve the contract extension amid strong expectations that the two sides will part ways after months of fruitless negotiations.

The report confirms that the Serbian forward has offered himself to Barcelona and is willing to accept any role in the team. He is also open to financial terms commensurate with the Catalan club’s economic situation, hoping to achieve his dream of playing at Camp Nou.

Despite Barcelona’s interest in the player’s abilities, the sporting department and coach Hansi Flick do not currently consider him a top option, with all attention focused on Argentine Julian Alvarez to lead the team’s attack in the next round.

Barcelona management believe a deal for Alvarez remains the first target, confident a deal can be reached despite the complexity of the negotiations, which currently limit Vlahovic’s options.

The report states that there is one scenario that could open up a move for the Serbian striker to Barcelona, ​​which is the Catalan club failing to complete the Alvarez deal and their failure to find other attacking options such as Harry Kane or alternative solutions in the market.

In this case, Barcelona could reassess their options and move towards signing a striker with characteristics closer to Robert Lewandowski, making Vlahovic a strong candidate to return to the club’s table.

Vlahovic had a difficult season due to injuries, but he finished strongly after returning to action, scoring four goals in a short space of time, confirming that he still possesses the qualities that have made him one of Europe’s most popular strikers in recent years.
