Arsenal’s talks to sign Dusan Vlahovic in danger of collapse

By on January 23, 2025

Arsenal’s pursuit of Juventus and Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic has encountered a major setback, as talks between the Gunners and the player have reportedly broken down, according to Football Transfers .

The Gunners are in search of reinforcements for their attack following recent struggles in front of goal, compounded by long-term injuries to key attackers such as Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal remain in serious competition with Liverpool for the Premier League title while also being active in the Champions League. However, their title challenge has faltered in recent weeks due to injuries and a lack of firepower in attack.

In response, Mikel Arteta’s side reportedly identified Dusan Vlahovic as a priority signing, among other potential targets, to bolster their attack and keep their ambitions for major silverware this season alive.

Arteta has long admired the Serbian international, having shown interest in signing Vlahovic during his time at Fiorentina. However, the 24-year-old striker chose a move to Juventus instead, despite Arsenal’s attempts to bring him to the Emirates.

Dusan Vlahovic Talks with Arsenal Break Down

According to Football Transfers, negotiations between the Serie A club and Arsenal over Dusan Vlahovic have collapsed. Arsenal were exploring a loan deal for the striker, while Juventus were only willing to consider an outright sale.

Reports from Italian sources suggest that Juventus were prepared to lower the striker’s asking price to £33 million. However, Arsenal’s insistence on a loan deal has seemingly put an end to any potential agreement.

The reports further state that the chances of the Serbian attacker moving to the Emirates during the final days of the winter transfer window are now slim.

With talks breaking down, Arsenal are expected to turn their attention to other options, with Wolves striker Matheus Cunha emerging as a possible alternative. However, the Gunners will need to meet Wolves’ valuation of the Brazilian, with several other top clubs are reportedly showing an interest.

Meanwhile, Arsenal continued their Champions League campaign on a strong note. The Gunners secured a dominant 3-0 victory over Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb on January 22, solidifying their position to advance to the next round of the competition.

As the transfer window nears its end, Arsenal will be eager to secure reinforcements to maintain their momentum in the Premier League and Champions League.
