Atletico Madrid has begun negotiations to recruit striker Dusan Vlahovic, who just left Juventus, according to information from Sport. Los Colchoneros are exploring the possibility of bringing the Serbian international to Spain on a free transfer. Vlahovic has become one of Europe's most sought-after free agents after leaving Juventus after his contract expired in Turin last June.
The 26-year-old has attracted interest from many clubs, including Manchester United, Barcelona and Besiktas. However, Atletico's approach could be especially attractive as Vlahovic is said to have chosen the Spanish team as his preferred destination. According to other reports, Vlahovic is currently waiting for Atletico to make an offer and has prioritized a move to Metropolitano after previously rejecting the club in 2021.
Atletico were very interested in Vlahovic during his time with Fiorentina, but the player ultimately decided to stay in Italy before joining Juventus for a fee of 70 million euros in January 2022. Unfortunately, his four-and-a-half year stay in Turin did not achieve the expected success for a player with such a high transfer value. Vlahovic has scored 68 goals in 168 appearances for Juventus, but he has struggled to maintain his form due to instability within the coaching staff and ongoing groin injury problems. Last season, he scored just seven Serie A goals in 19 matches as Juventus finished in sixth place.
Atletico's interest could depend on the future of Alexander Sorloth, who is also a target for Fenerbahce. The Turkish club is said to be considering a loan deal for the Norwegian player, which includes a mandatory purchase clause worth 35 million euros. However, Atletico could potentially sign both strikers, although the similarities in their playing styles make this an unlikely solution in the long term. Both Sorloth and Vlahovic are left-footed strikers, with good physiques and adapt well to physical battles and scoring opportunities in the box. But if Julian Alvarez, who is looking to leave, gets his wish, the club may have to keep hold of Sorloth and Vlahovic.
What happens next
Vlahovic is currently waiting for Atletico Madrid to make an official offer, which could happen in the near future. If the deal is successful, he will have the opportunity to show his talent in La Liga after leaving Juventus. This could also open a new chapter in his career, with Atletico looking for competition in the tournament.
