Dusan Vlahovic Transfer News Reveals Chelsea And Newcastle Interest
In October, Dusan Vlahovic’s Juventus contract renewal was understood to be gathering traction after Luciano Spalletti replaced Igor Tudor as head coach.
However, the former Azzurri boss is now planning for life without Vlahovic in his squad. Spalletti is resigned to losing his star striker with Newcastle and Chelsea waiting in the wings.
Although La Stampa reports that there is still a glimmer of hope Vlahovic stays, if he lowers his wage demands, it appears the 26-year-old will leave Turin when his current deal expires in June.

From the Blues perspective, they are in need of a proven goalscorer. Recently-appointed manager Liam Rosenior has instructed his board to do all they can to bring Vlahovic to west London.
Joao Pedro and Liam Delap are Rosenior’s main armory up top but Vlahovic has more experience and goals to his name which could help take the Premier League side back to the top.
As for the Magpies, they haven’t fully replaced Alexander Isak. The Swedes well documented transfer saga eventually saw the 26-year-old move to Liverpool in the summer.
Although Nick Woltermade has come in and made a positive impression, Vlahovic is considered as a stronger option. Yoane Wissa is also on board at St James’ but has struggled since returning from injury.
What Other Clubs Want To Sign Dusan Vlahovic?
Premier League interest in Dusan Vlahovic is nothing new. A whole host of England’s elite have been heavily linked with the Juventus star in recent months.
Alongside Chelsea and Newcastle, the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal have all seen their names thrown into the mix.
Closer to home, AC Milan targeted Vlahovic. Sporting director Igli Tare has been locked in talks with Vlahovic’s entourage but a deal isn’t close to completion. Although broadcaster TeleLombardia claimed otherwise.
Across the continent, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have also shown interest. Barca is in the market for a new striker with Robert Lewnadowski set to leave in the summer.
Bayern are also keeping tabs with star man Harry Kane turning 33 in June. However, Vlahovic’s hefty salary – reportedly €22million per year – will prove a huge stumbling block for all interested parties.
