Arsenal are preparing a formal offer to sign Juventus centre-forward Dušan Vlahović this summer, reports Italian outlet TuttoJuve.
At 25, with just one year left on his contract in Turin, Vlahović is now available on favourable terms. Talks on renewal have stalled — giving Arsenal a possible edge.
The Gunners have monitored Vlahović for months. TuttoJuve suggests Arsenal are willing to lodge a bid of €30 million (around £25 million).
Juventus could demand more — but their leverage is limited given the contract situation and declining form. This could push them to sell low this summer.
Arsenal’s forward line is depleted. Kai Havertz awaits a long recovery post-hamstring surgery. Gabriel Jesus is potentially sidelined for much of 2025 with an ACL injury.
Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka are sidelined too—though they edge toward returns early next month. Arteta desperately needs a proven centre-forward.
Vlahović fits that mould. Strong. Fast. Physically imposing at 6’3″. Lethal in the box. A hold-up play king, lethal finisher, and more than just goals—his link-up and aerial dominance suit the Premier League. He brings immediate presence to Arteta’s frontline.
This could be a transformative signing—for less than the astronomical fees paid in today’s marks. Arsenal may snag one of Europe’s powerful strikers at a cut-price deal.
It’s not just about now. It’s about sending a signal: Arsenal mean business.
And Vlahović? He carries ambition. He knows Premier League stage would amplify his reputation.
A move to Arsenal offers Europe, exposure, and a platform to rediscover his best form.
