CaclioMeracto report that Juventus have drawn up a list of potential backups for Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic amidst fears they could be beaten to the striker’s signature by Tottenham.
The race between Juventus and Tottenham for Vlahovic’s signature seems to be heating up if reports in the Italian press over recent days are to be believed.
Gazzetta dello Sport have claimed Antonio Conte has been assured by the Tottenham hierarchy that they are committed to signing the 21-year-old.
TuttoJuve24 have revealed that Juve are worried they would be pipped by Spurs to the signing of the Serbian international after Conte’s arrival in North London.
According to Tuttosport, Fiorentina are hoping for Tottenham to make a move for Vlahovic, with the Viola thought to be dreading the prospect of selling the striker to the Old Lady.
CaclioMeracto’s latest update claims that while Vlahaovic remains Juve’s number one target, the Serie A giants do not want to be caught unprepared in case Spurs beat them to the Fiorentina star.
Juventus are also said to be aware of Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso’s unwillingness to sell the striker to them.
