Mikel Arteta Could Push Arsenal to Spend at Least €50M to Beat PSG, Man Utd for Brilliant Striker | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain’s decision to move on from Randal Kolo Muani has created an opening for a new No. 9 to partner Gonçalo Ramos up front this summer.

One name reportedly on their radar is Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. A previous report from CaughtOffside noted that PSG began tracking the Serbian international earlier this year, and with his price now seen as more reasonable, a summer move could be in play.

Arsenal and Manchester United are also in the mix, which could increase competition. With only a year left on his contract, Juventus may lower its demands to avoid losing Vlahovic for free in 2026.

The Gunners will likely target a reliable No. 9, regardless of their Champions League semifinal outcome against PSG.

As a result, Fichajes reports that Mikel Arteta believes Vlahovic can offer the much-needed quality boost his team needs to compete for success in England and Europe. Moreover, the fact that Juventus is open to negotiations makes things much easier.

Fichajes claims that Juventus are looking for a possible deal worth between €50 and €60 million. Nonetheless, the Italian team doesn’t have much leverage and the price could lower if this possible sale drags on.

Juventus are putting together a shortlist of potential striker targets as they prepare to move on from Dusan Vlahovic in the upcoming transfer window, according to a recent report from Calciomercato.

One of the leading names under consideration is Manchester United forward Rasmus Højlund. The Danish international has reportedly impressed Juventus scouts and is high on the club’s wishlist. Furthermore, the Old Lady plans changes to their attack, with him as a top target.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Cunha is also attracting interest as part of the club’s broader search for attacking reinforcements. Vlahovic has scored 14 goals and provided five assists in 38 appearances for Juventus this season. Therefore, his production should attract interest in the market this summer.
