Juventus embarks on their journey to the United States for their pre-season tour, but the transfer market is also buzzing with activity.
The spotlight is firmly on Dusan Vlahovic, who has been called up for the American tour and is becoming increasingly sought after by top clubs.
After being considered by Bayern Munich, who ultimately opted for Harry Kane, the Serbian striker has now captured the attention of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
According to La Stampa, Real Madrid, under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, is in need of a new number nine following Karim Benzema’s departure to the Arabian league.
While their primary target remains Kylian Mbappé, they are exploring alternatives in case the French forward fails to secure his release from PSG.
This is where Vlahovic comes into play, as his stock continues to rise. His agent had previously proposed him to Real Madrid, and now discussions are progressing.
The initial idea is a loan deal with a purchase option, providing a temporary solution until Mbappé becomes available on a free transfer in 2024. However, the situation is fluid and subject to change.
Ancelotti himself has reached out to Vlahovic, expressing interest in securing the 23-year-old striker. Juventus, on the other hand, does not consider him untouchable and is open to potential offers.
