TBR Football understand Dusan Vlahovic is targeting a move to the Premier League in 2026 with Tottenham and Chelsea already receiving approaches.

The Serbia international becomes a free agent when his contract expires in July 2026 – and is not expected to remain at Juventus after talks over a new deal broke down.

Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent for TBR Football – has now provided the latest on Dusan Vlahovic as Chelsea or Tottenham could sign the striker.

We understand the Serbian has told his representatives to explore options in the Premier League as his time in Turin draws to a close.

Juventus initially asked Vlahovic to take a pay cut if he wanted a long-term extension at the Allianz Stadium, and have since failed to find a buyer after he rejected that proposal.

The Juventus No.9 has only made two starts across all competitions so far this season under Igor Tudor after a move to AC Milan collapsed last summer, but has impressed with four goals – making him the top scorer for the Italian giants.

Despite largely struggling to live up to his £66.6m price tag following a switch from Fiorentina in January 2022 – he has scored 62 goals in 153 games – the man born in Belgrade is still held in high regard across Europe.

Sources inform TBR Football that Barcelona and Bayern Munich are weighing up offers ahead of the summer, while Manchester United and Newcastle are also admirers of Vlahovic.

Bailey says: “Once again his people are touching base with potential landing spots – Chelsea and Tottenham have been spoken to by intermediaries. Much will depend on whether he wants a ‘pay day’ – he won’t get that in England.

“He would get major money obviously, but nothing compared to what he could earn in Saudi Arabia – he would only get more than his current salary at Juventus if he moved to the Middle East.

“But Vlahovic is just 25. Whilst doing well at Juventus, he hasn’t blown anyone away and you get the feeling he has unfinished business at this point of his career.”

Vlahovic can boast 134 goals in 310 appearances throughout his career at club level.

Kylian Mbappe has already shared his Dusan Vlahovic verdict

A global superstar has already given the Serb his seal of approval.

Kylian Mbappe hailed Vlahovic back in September 2022, saying: “Vlahovic is a quality striker, he is one of the best of his generation. He can do much better going forward, he has so much to give.

“He has already shown so much, Only time will tell, but I don’t think it is a big risk for me to say that he will be a top striker in the coming years.”

Micah Richards also likes Vlahovic, claiming that he felt the Juventus contract rebel “was going to be the next Haaland” when he started to blossom at Fiorentina.

Some players only start to peak in their late twenties, as Jean-Philippe Mateta is showing at Crystal Palace, so a move for Vlahovic on a free transfer could prove to be a stroke of genius for whoever secures his signature.
