A key Juventus standout reveals he would welcome a free switch to Barcelona, viewing the Blaugrana as an attractive destination.
The striker position looms large after Julian Alvarez’s Atletico extension snub and Marcus Rashford’s loan proving more rotational spark than outright replacement.
With Lamine Yamal dazzling on the right and Raphinha fatigued, a left-sided or central focal point remains the missing piece in Hansi Flick’s high-octane attack.
Free agency offers a rare FFP lifeline, especially with Spotify Camp Nou’s capacity boost incoming.
Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic is open to a free move to Barcelona, having instructed his agents to prioritise the Blaugrana when his contract expires this summer, as reported by Diario Sport.
The 26-year-old Serbian powerhouse, with 18 goals in Serie A last term despite team struggles, views Camp Nou as his top destination over Premier League riches or AC Milan overtures.
Tuttosport reports confirm Vlahovic’s eagerness to swap Turin for Catalonia, seeing himself as Lewandowski’s physical heir with aerial dominance and hold-up play tailored for Flick’s press.
Vlahovic’s allure lies in zero transfer cost – Juventus talks stalled, forcing a Bosman exit that aligns perfectly with Laporta’s €100m election rhetoric without net spend.
His 2024-25 output (20+ goals across competitions) proves elite finishing, offsetting recent inconsistencies blamed on squad chaos.
At 6ft 4in, he complements Yamal’s runs and Pedri’s vision, offering rotation for Ferran Torres while Rashford rebuilds post-injury.
This pursuit fits Deco’s blueprint: flip Roony Bardghji for €20m profit, entertain Balde’s €40m United bid to fund left-backs like Grimaldo (free), Svensson, or Gutiérrez.
Vlahovic’s green light hands Barcelona leverage – wage demands negotiable given his Juventus frustration.
Securing the ex-Fiorentina ace would cap a shrewd window, blending Serie A pedigree with La Masia dynamism.
As Lewandowski drifts toward MLS whispers, Vlahovic embodies the free-hit ambition to propel Flick’s title charge into 2026-27. Juventus’ loss fast becomes Barça’s calculated gain.
