Vlahovic offers himself again to Barça

FC Barcelona

The main focus of Barcelona continues to be on Julián Álvarez. The 26-year-old Argentine forward belongs to Atlético de Madrid and has already publicly expressed his desire to leave the red-and-white club. His aim is to fulfill the dream of playing for Barça.

The departure of Lewandowski, who left the club at the end of his contract at 37, forces the sporting leadership to study a major signing for the attack. But the situation is not limited to replacing the Pole. Ferran Torres, also 26 and under contract until 2027, was recently linked with the Paris Saint-Germain and, when asked about his future, did not rule out a move this summer.

Vlahovic, a different option from Julián Álvarez

That is where the name of Dusan Vlahovic comes in. The Serbian striker is out of contract on June 30 with Juventus of Turin and in Italy they consider his renewal to be unlikely. If no agreement is reached, he would be a free agent and could arrive at the Spotify Camp Nou without a transfer fee.

Vlahovic has once again made his candidacy known to the blue-and-garnet club. His profile fits more with that of a area striker and finisher, different from a more mobile, associative and dynamic Julián Álvarez. At Barça, according to the original information, they do not see him as a first-choice ‘nine’, although his name makes more sense if Ferran ends up leaving.

The economic factor also appears in the analysis. In Italy, they say the Serbian is asking for a salary close to eight million euros per season and a signing bonus of 15 million. Juventus wants to renew him, but for now neither Vlahovic nor his father, who acts as his agent, has responded to the proposal from the Turin club.

The forward, who was already linked in the past with the chance to wear blue-and-garnet and scored the equalizer in one of the standout images from the original text, is interested in joining Barça to stay in a top-level team. He has also been linked with Bayern Munich, Besiktas and Atlético de Madrid; in the latter case, as a possible replacement for Sorloth, another striker who is on Juventus's agenda and who was also linked with Barça.
