June 01, (THEWILL) – Dusan Vlahovic has expressed his desire to part ways with Juventus this summer, as several prominent clubs, including Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Manchester United, have shown keen interest in acquiring his services.
The Serbian striker, who joined Juventus in 2022 for a staggering €70 million, faced a challenging season at the Allianz Stadium, struggling to replicate his previous goal-scoring prowess. While Vlahovic managed to net over 20 Serie A goals in the past two seasons, he could only find the back of the net 10 times in the league during his first full season with Juventus.
Reports from close sources reveal that after enduring a lacklustre 2022/2023 campaign under the guidance of defensive-oriented manager Massimiliano Allegri, Vlahovic has now formally requested a departure from the club. Despite his disappointing goal tally, the 23-year-old striker has attracted significant interest from several clubs, with Bayern Munich reportedly eager to secure his services as they continue their search for a top-class number nine following Robert Lewandowski’s departure last summer.
Thomas Tuchel is actively pushing for Bayern Munich to pursue a move for Vlahovic. Additionally, Manchester United have maintained their interest in the talented forward, considering him as a potential primary option alongside the likes of Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen, and Lautaro Martinez for the upcoming season. Chelsea is also keeping a close eye on the situation, hoping to bolster their attacking options.
However, Juventus has advised Vlahovic to postpone making a decision regarding his future until the club resolves its managerial uncertainty. Recent rumors have swirled around the potential departure of Massimiliano Allegri, with Antonio Conte being linked with a return to the club this summer. Their managerial uncertainty aside, Vlahovic’s representatives have reiterated the player’s strong desire to leave Juventus, regardless of who takes charge.
