Aston Villa eye ambitious move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic
Aston Villa are considering an ambitious move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic this summer. The club, managed by Unai Emery, is keen to strengthen its attacking lineup, and Vlahovic has emerged as a prime target.
The Serbian striker has had a mixed spell at Juventus since joining the Italian giants. Over the course of 136 games for the club, he has netted 55 goals and provided 12 assists. While these numbers are respectable, Juventus are reportedly willing to part ways with the forward due to an underwhelming season and financial considerations.
According to Teamtalk, Juventus are prepared to accept an offer in the region of €40 million for the 25-year-old. With Vlahovic’s contract set to expire at the end of next season, the club is eager to secure a transfer fee rather than risk losing him for free.
Vlahovic has also been a key player for the Serbian national team, scoring 14 goals in 34 appearances. His goal-scoring ability and experience at both club and international levels make him an attractive prospect for any team looking to enhance their attacking options.
Previously, Vlahovic was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal, with the North London club showing strong interest in securing his services over multiple transfer windows. However, Arsenal’s interest has reportedly cooled as they have shifted their focus to other targets, leaving the door open for other Premier League clubs to step in.

A move to Aston Villa could be an intriguing prospect for both the club and the player. Under Unai Emery, Villa have been making steady progress and are aiming to establish themselves as a competitive force in the Premier League. Adding a player of Vlahovic’s caliber could significantly boost their attacking prowess and help them challenge for European football.
From a tactical perspective, Vlahovic’s physicality, finishing ability, and versatility in the attacking third would be valuable assets for Villa. His presence would complement the current squad, providing Emery with a high-quality option to lead the line or play alongside other attacking talents.
Financially, the reported €40 million fee for Vlahovic represents a reasonable investment for a proven striker with experience in one of Europe’s top leagues. If Aston Villa can successfully negotiate a deal, it could prove to be a major coup for the club, potentially elevating their status in the Premier League.
While no official bid has been confirmed, Villa’s interest in Vlahovic indicates their ambition to strengthen ahead of the new season. As the summer transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to see how negotiations unfold and whether the Serbian striker will be making a move to the English top flight.
For now, Aston Villa fans will be eagerly watching developments, hoping that their club can secure a player of Vlahovic’s quality to bolster their attacking options and push them to greater heights in the Premier League.
