As stated by the Mirror, Manchester United have been put on alert as Juventus has made striker Dusan Vlahovic available for sale this summer.
Arsenal made a strong push to sign Vlahovic from Fiorentina in January last year. However, the Serbian international opted to join Juventus in a £66 million deal, turning down the Gunners. Vlahovic agreed to a four-year contract with the Italian giants.
The striker attracted significant attention and demand due to his impressive goal-scoring record at Fiorentina, where he scored 38 league goals in a season and a half.
Since his move to Turin, Vlahovic has struggled to replicate his earlier form. Although he has scored a respectable 23 goals in 63 appearances for Juventus, he has faced challenges in maintaining consistent form and fitness due to multiple hamstring injuries.

Given Juventus’ failure to secure Champions League football for the upcoming season and their desire to reduce expenses amidst financial strain, they are open to selling the striker this summer.
Man United manager Erik Ten Hag is actively seeking a central striker for the team but has ruled out pursuing Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur due to the belief that the London club will not sell him, especially to a Premier League rival.
As a result, alternative options are being considered, with Vlahovic being one of the potential candidates. The Serbian striker’s struggles and his ability to perform at the highest level have been questioned.

It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils step up their interest in the Juventus striker this summer.
