While he remains under contract until 2026, Juventus may look to offload him if a new deal isn\u2019t agreed, in order to avoid losing him for nothing in 12 months&#8217; time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Juventus are already being linked with potential replacements for Vlahovic. Italian outlet Di Marzio has named <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/chelsea-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ChelseaLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Chelsea<\/a>\u2019s Nicolas Jackson as a possible target, while <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/liverpool-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LiverpoolLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a>\u2019s Darwin Nunez has also been speculated in recent weeks. The arrival of a new forward at the Allianz Stadium could pave the way for Vlahovic\u2019s departure, even if his personal preference is to leave as a free agent in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Vlahovic\u2019s situation has understandably put several clubs on high alert, with rumours suggesting United may be among them. <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/ruben-amorim\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Ruben AmorimLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Ruben Amorim<\/a> appears determined to revamp his entire forward line this summer, with <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/matheus-cunha\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Matheus CunhaLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Matheus Cunha<\/a> already through the door, discussions are ongoing for Brentford\u2019s Bryan Mbeumo, and continued links to other striker targets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">If United can get a deal for Vlahovic over the line, it would no doubt rub salt in the wounds of one of their <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/premier-league\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Premier LeagueLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a> rivals, who were determined to sign the striker three years ago before he joined Juventus. Reports in 2022 claimed Arsenal had made Vlahovic a priority target for the January window as he looked set to leave Fiorentina, but he instead chose to remain in Serie A and joined Juventus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Vlahovic<a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/football\/2022\/06\/13\/dusan-vlahovic-exclusive-really-feels-score-goal-never-joining\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" told The TelegraphLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\"> told The Telegraph<\/a> in June 2022: &#8220;Maybe my agent knows but I never talked to anyone about it.

However, if reports are accurate, Arsenal appear to be prioritising younger talents, including RB Leipzig\u2019s Benjamin Sesko.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Here at the Manchester Evening News, we&#8217;re dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester United coverage and analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Make sure you don&#8217;t miss out on the latest United news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
