Arsenal is reportedly preparing to make a move to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in the summer, but they will have to beat rival Manchester United to the attacker's services. It occurs when ideas for both sides to increase their attacking ranks are still being discussed.
Last summer, the Gunners signed Gabriel Jesus, which was a major coup for the team, and Leandro Trossard, a solid depth player, joined from Brighton. However, given that Jesus' World Cup injury leaves Eddie Nketiah as the lone option up forward, injuries and tactical flexibility will continue to be a problem for the team in the long run.
Rivals Manchester United is in a similar situation; they have added quality to their roster on a depth chart, but they still lack a central striker. To assist cover the vacuum, Burnley's Wout Weghorst was brought in on loan, but it is obvious that a long-term solution is required.
Despite Juventus' struggles on and off the field and his impressive performance in Serie A, Vlahovic is still being linked to both teams. Under Max Allegri, the Bianconeri first battled with consistency but finally found it until the team was docked 15 points for financial reasons.
It's unclear how that might affect the company, so it's unclear if Vlahovic will have to leave. However, it appears that both parties are keeping an eye out for any switch activity. According to Niccolo Ceccarini, a transfer expert, as cited by JuveNews, the Gunners are likely to make a move.
Ceccarini said: “Arsenal had already tried to take him before the transfer to Juventus. The idea has remained and at the end of the season a new attempt is very likely. In England, however, they are not the only one, Manchester United has also started to move. In short, the situation is evolving.”
Although it is still unclear whether either party will act given that the transfer window is still a few months away, steps could be taken to make a swap happen.
