Tottenham Hotspur have just learned whether Dusan Vlahovic will leave Juventus in January and how difficult any potential race for his signature will be.
Spurs are thought to be one of several clubs eyeing a move for a Juventus centre-forward, who is allegedly looking for an exit route from the Allianz Stadium.
In fact, over the last two weeks, Spurs Web has relayed multiple reports stating that Tottenham are Vlahovic’s most likely destination in January.
It has been suggested that Fabio Paratici’s connections at Juventus could give Spurs an advantage in the £13m race for the Serbian, and there has now been a big development over his future.

A new report in Fichajes has now claimed that the rumoured Spurs target has now made up his mind not to sign a new deal in Turin.
Vlahovic’s current contract runs out next summer, and Juve have been working very hard over recent months to tie the 25-year-old.
However, the talks have now hit a complete impasse, and there is a sense of resignation at the Bianconeri about the centre-forward’s future.
Vlahovic has made it clear that he is looking for a new challenge, with sources close to Juve considering his departure to be ‘inevitable’.

Fichajes say this latest development over the striker’s contract has ‘set off alarm bells’ at both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who are both fans of the player.
In fact, the outlet asserts that Barca are the front-runners to land Vlahovic, with the club seeing the former Fiorentina man as the successor to Robert Lewandowski.
Interestingly, though, it is suggested that the Catalan giants will look to sign the Serbian international on a free transfer next summer rather than paying a fee for him in January.
