Juventus have given a corporate reaction to Arsenal’s initial bid for Dusan Vlahovic, with a report outlining what the Gunners plan to do now as the Serie A giants take a corporate stance on Serbia’s future abroad amid accusations in the Italian media about the high cost of the transfer. . are for the Bianconeri.
Vlahovic is one of Europe’s attackers and Arsenal is one of the clubs that wish to sign the Juventus star. Teamtalk movements correspondent, Rudy Galetti, reported in December that the Gunners sought an agreement for Vlahovic. We also report the interest of Chelsea in the Serbian foreign striker.
For days there has been speculation about the possibility of the 24-year-old Manchester United signing in the January transfer window.
A switch deal involving Joshua Zirkzee, as UTD head coach Ruben Amorim has been confirmed to bring more firepower to his team.
And now it has been reported that Arsenal have submitted to Vlahovic. The fotball transfers claimed that the Gunners had offered to indicate the striker a loan deal.
Arsenal’s loan offer expired last week. Juventus rejected him. The Italian giants have no plans for such a deal.
With Juve aiming to finish in the Champions League places in the Serie A table this season, it would not make sense to let Vlahovic leave on a ‘dry’ loan and leave themselves a striker short.
However, Juventus are willing to sell Vlahovic outright or at least include an obligation to make the deal permanent at the end of the season if it is a loan move.
The Serie A club are also willing to wait until later in the January transfer window to see if there is interest in Vlahovic from other clubs.
Although Arsenal’s initial offer for the striker was rejected, they are not giving up on the possibility of turning Juventus’ minds and it is possible that they will return with a momentary offer later this month.
With Arsenal on the hunt for a striker in the January transfer window, they need to make a permanent bid for Vlahovic.
Arsenal’s loan offer for Vlahovic is even more baffling when one considers how much Juventus want for him.
CalcioMercato reported this month that the Turin club’s Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli is aware of interest in the striker from Arsenal and Man United.
With talks between the player and the club over a new contract not going particularly smoothly, Giuntoli wants at least €60m (£50.5m, $61.6m) for Vlahovic.
Vlahovic, who has scored 12 goals and provided two assists in 23 games in all competitions this season, is a contract in Juventus until the summer of 2026.
Among the players Juventus have been strongly linked to in the January transfer window is Randal Kolo Muani. The Paris Saint-Germain forward has been the subject of interest from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur as well, but it is Juve who are in the driver’s seat at the moment.
Italian media reported that Juventus in talks with PSG about a deal for Kolo Muani. The French foreign striker accepted the series club as a destination in January.
However, there is still no agreement between Juventus and PSG regarding the 26-year-old. With much of the January window remaining, there may still be a twist in this specific move saga, especially with Tottenham and Man Utd in hiding.
According to the information, Juventus are also actively trying to sign Ronald Araujo from Barcelona in the January transfer window.
The former Italian champions have already been denied an offer for Araujo, however, they make a new offer, head coach Thiago Motta wishing to bring the Uruguayan foreigner to the Juventus Stadium this month.
Juventus, however, faces a primary arsenal risk for the defender. TeamTalk understands that the Gunners are seriously a bid for Araujo, who has only just returned to action after a long-term injury.
While Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has publicly stated that he needs the 26-year-old foreign centre to stay to stay, those at the Spanish club’s executive point have other concepts and are open to cheering him on this month.
One player who may leave Juventus this month is Douglas Luiz. The Brazilian midfielder joined Aston Villa’s Bianconeri in the summer of 2024.
Luiz failed to establish himself at Juve, and Italian media speculate that Manchester United is indicating this.
The Red Devils may lose midfielder Kobbie Mainoo to Premier League rivals Chelsea, and have known Luiz as a possible replacement.
