Juventus yet to Make Progress on Extension for €70M-Rated Arsenal, PSG Transfer Target | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have struggled with consistency in front of goal recently, and in response, the club has been linked to several strikers over the past few months. Now, another name has emerged in the rumor mill: Dušan Vlahović, a player with experience in Italy.

The Parisians have been connected to a number of forwards, including Victor Osimhen, Alexander Isak, and Viktor Gyökeres. With uncertainty surrounding Randal Kolo Muani’s future, PSG will likely target a striker who fits the style of manager Luis Enrique.

However, Vlahović’s potential move to Paris won’t be straightforward, as the French club faces significant competition to secure the Serbian.

The situation between Vlahović and Juventus remains unresolved, as Corriere della Sera (h/t Diario AS) points out. With his contract expiring in 2026, there’s still no progress on the contract renewal offered to the forward.

“Some fans are still upset by the Serbian striker’s reaction, which was similar to his response during a corner kick after the boos he received at the end of the Venezia match,” the Italian media outlet noted.

“Juventus clarified that the insults were very serious, and his reaction was a result of these grave offenses. The Vecchia Signora’s supporters remain divided over the former Fiorentina player’s situation, especially considering his high salary of €12 million.”

CaughtOffside reported last week, citing sources, that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is in the market for a new striker and is set to target €70 million-rated Vlahović in the January transfer window.

The report suggests that Arteta believes the Serbian forward would be a perfect fit for his team’s current playing style.

However, with PSG, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City all closely monitoring Vlahović’s situation, CaughtOffside concludes that Arsenal may face strong competition for his signature in January.
