There continue to be twists and turns regarding the future of Dusan Vlahovic, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Randal Kolo Muani does not expect to stay at Tottenham beyond this season, while some sources have suggested that Spurs may also cash in on Richarlison this summer.
As a result, Roberto De Zerbi’s men look likely to enter the market for a new number nine, with Tottenham reportedly keeping themselves informed of Vlahovic’s situation.
In fact, Spurs have been installed as one of the favourites in the race to sign the Juvenuts star on a free transfer, with the striker’s current deal running out this summer.
Interest intensifying in Tottenham target Dusan Vlahovic as Juventus hesitate
Over the last few weeks, some Italian publications have claimed that Juventus are making progress in their efforts to tie down Vlahovic to a new deal.
However, a new report in TuttoSport has now claimed that the Serie A giants are ‘hesitating’ to offer the striker the pay rise he is looking for.
Additionally, Vlahovic is also demanding a signing-on bonus while his agent is expecting a commission, which the Bianconeri are not sure they can afford.
In the meantime, the interest in the rumoured Tottenham Hotspur target is increasing, with clubs from around Europe keeping an eye on his situation.
Newcastle could challenge Spurs for Vlahovic
TuttoSport say that both Bayern Munich and Barcelona are hovering over the Serbian international, but neither club have made a concrete move yet.
It is revealed that Vlahovic has no intention of playing second fiddle to Harry Kane at Bayern, and while Atletico Madrid have also enquired about the former Fiorentina man, even they may not be able to promise him regular minutes.
The report claims that Newcastle United have become the latest club to enter the race for Vlahovic, with the Magpies trying to understand the conditions of the deal.
However, it is pointed out that the Juventus star wants to play Champions League football, which neither Newcastle nor Spurs can offer him next season.
