The Serbian striker from Juventus in Turin is seen by the Barça coaches as the natural replacement for Robert Lewandowski at the top of the attack
dusan vlahovic is the main candidate to fill Lewandowski’s position in the FC Barcelona. The Serbian striker is not comfortable in a Juventus with financial problems and with an open investigation for alleged fraud in the management of transfers. He can get within range of the Barça team.
But it will not be an easy operation for FC Barcelona. Let’s remember that Juventus in Turin paid, just a year ago, between 60 and 70 million euros for his transfer to Fiorentina. A Vlahovic that between injuries and a bad moment for Juventus, he has not finished adapting. The Serbian sees the exit to Barcelona with very good eyes.
What does Juventus ask FC Barcelona for Vlahovic?
Juventus do not want to lose money, but they assume that keeping Vlahovic, with the news surrounding the club, is quite complicated. For this reason, taking advantage of the reconstruction that is taking place at FC Barcelona, they want to take advantage of the interest in Vlahovic to negotiate with some players.
Right now there are two players who are not part of Xavi Hernández’s starting XI that the Juventus Turin coaches like a lot. We are talking about Memphis Depay and Jordi Alba. The first was highly criticized for understanding that he was erased before the World Cup in Qatar. Since then he has not had minutes in the league.
Jordi Alba and Memphis in the equation
Jordi Alba is a different situation. His high salary makes his continuity at FC Barcelona a problem. But the reality is that every time he plays he continues to contribute a lot, especially in the offensive section. Balde’s irruption leaves him with few options to start regularly.
That is to say, FC Barcelona could incorporate Vlahovic as long as Memphis Depay and Jordi Alba end up at Juventus in Turin. A highly complex operation, but one that would leave both sides relatively happy. The next few weeks will be decisive.
