Chelsea & Man United interested in transfer move of Serie A star. This summer, a striker is a target for both Erik Ten Hag’s team and Frank Lampard’s team to sign. In the upcoming summer transfer window, Manchester United is expected to challenge Chelsea for the services of Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic.
Vlahovic, 23, has had trouble making an impression since moving to Juventus from Fiorentina in 2022 for a cost of £71 million. He scored 41 goals in one and a half seasons before his move, but in Turin, he has been unable to regain his prior form.
The 21-cap Serbia international, a towering left-footed attacker blessed with strength and shooting ability, has struggled to adjust to life under Bianconeri manager Massimiliano Allegri. Just 14 goals have been scored by him in 41 games so far this season.
In anticipation of the forthcoming 2023–24 season, Manchester United has reportedly chosen to rekindle their winter interest in Vlahovic. According to rumors, Erik ten Hag is a major fan of the Serb’s physical characteristics.
Manchester United is looking to fill the vacuum left by Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure last season by bringing in a first-choice striker this summer. For the chance to sign the Partizan Belgrade youth product, they are prepared to spend £61 million.
To solve their problem with number nine, Chelsea is also interested in signing Vlahovic. The player has made it clear that he wants to join a team that has qualified for the UEFA Champions League, thus a potential permanent switch is doubtful.
Should he join Chelsea, Vlahovic, who is under contract with the Allianz Stadium through June 2026, would establish himself as a key starter. In the club’s hierarchy, he might replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz.
Vlahovic has played 62 games for Juventus in all competitions, scoring 23 goals and dishing out six assists overall.
Target for Manchester United and Chelsea is for sale, according to reports:
In light of ties to Manchester United and Chelsea, Football Insider reports that Inter Milan is open to offers for Lautaro Martinez’s services in the neighborhood of £69.5 million. To raise money, they want to get rid of him.
Martinez, 25, joined the Nerazzurri in 2018 after moving from Racing Club for around £20 million. Since then, he has established himself as a vital member of the team. He has so far assisted them in winning four different titles, including the Serie A championship for 2020–21.
Martinez, a right-footed clinical finisher endowed with speed and heading, has attracted attention with his standout performances for Simone Inzaghi’s team during the current 2022–23 season. He has led his team to the Coppa Italia and UEFA Champions League finals thus far, scoring 25 goals and dishing out 10 assists in 53 games.
