Newcastle United are reportedly in pole position to land Serbian goal-machine Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus this summer.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via SportWitness, the Magpies have emerged as front-runners for the 25-year-old striker, who looks set to leave Turin as he enters the final year of his contract. With no renewal on the table, Juventus could be forced to cash in—making this a golden opportunity for Premier League suitors.
Vlahovic: A Proven Goalscorer with Premier League Appeal
Vlahovic rose to prominence with Fiorentina before securing a big-money move to Juventus in early 2022. Although he faced a bumpy start in Turin, the Serbian forward has since found his rhythm, contributing 14 goals and 5 assists in 39 appearances this season.
Known for his lethal finishing and physical presence, Vlahovic is seen as a perfect fit for English football. With Juventus open to a cut-price deal, Newcastle are keen to pounce.
Newcastle Eye Firepower as Howe Looks to Bolster Attack
Eddie Howe is determined to build on Newcastle’s recent progress, and strengthening the frontline is a key part of his summer plans. Vlahovic is viewed as an ideal partner—or potential replacement—for Alexander Isak, who continues to attract interest from elsewhere.
While Newcastle lead the chase, competition for Vlahovic’s signature will be fierce. But with Champions League ambitions and the financial muscle to back them, the Magpies might just pull off one of the summer’s standout signings.
