Authenticity (3/5): Another striker lands on United's radar
Manchester United have been linked with a number of strikers in recent weeks, owing to their goalscoring crisis. Now, it is understood the club's hierarchy will consider signing Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus this summer.
That is according to GIVEMESPORT, who further claim Juve have “turned their attentions towards” selling Vlahovic after they were unable to convince him to sign a new contract.
Value (4/5): Shockingly low fee
The outlet claim that the Old Lady are prepared to sell Vlahovic for a “shockingly low fee” at the end of the season. Their asking price is £35million but with his contract due to run out in 2026, the Italian outfit would be open to parting ways for a fee in the region of £25million.
Suitability (4/5): Threatening presence
Vlahovic is considered one of the best number nines in Europe, owing to his strong physical presence and smart movement in and around the penalty area. The 25-year-old's finishing is equally effective, underlined by the fact that he already has 14 goals to his name this term.
Upgrade? (4.5/5): Huge improvement
Ruben Amorim isn't spoiled for choices upfront, as both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have largely been disappointing when handed minutes. As such, Vlahovic's arrival would be seen as an instant improvement on United's current attacking options.
Logic (3/5): European football worry
Having proven his mettle in Italy, Vlahovic would certainly be tempted by the idea of joining a Premier League club. With that said United will have to do a lot of convincing if they fail to secure European football for next season.
Whisper+ verdict: 18.5/25
Juve's alleged softened stance has made Vlahovic a very viable option for United. This saga should go far.
