Dusan Vlahovic Eyes Premier League Move with Chelsea and Tottenham Interested
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is targeting a move to the English Premier League in 2026, with both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur already engaged in preliminary discussions regarding a potential transfer.
The Serbia international will become a free agent when his contract with Juventus expires in July 2026, and contract renewal talks have reportedly stalled. Vlahovic has instructed his representatives to explore options in England, despite interest from European giants like Barcelona and Bayern Munich, as well as domestic admirers such as Manchester United and Newcastle. He currently leads Juventus in scoring with four goals across all competitions this season, despite making only two starts.
While Vlahovic’s £66.6 million price tag from his transfer from Fiorentina in January 2022 has yet to be fully justified – he has scored 62 goals in 153 games for the club – he remains highly regarded. Kylian Mbappe previously lauded Vlahovic in September 2022, stating, “Vlahovic is a quality striker, he is one of the best of his generation… he has so much to give.” A move to the Premier League could reignite his career and provide a new challenge.
Sources indicate that while a substantial financial offer could be found in Saudi Arabia, the 25-year-old Vlahovic is prioritizing a move that allows him to continue competing at the highest level. The potential arrival of a proven goalscorer like Vlahovic could significantly bolster any team’s attacking options; the transfer window is always a key period for clubs looking to strengthen their squads, as detailed by the Premier League’s official website. Juventus had previously asked Vlahovic to accept a pay cut for a long-term extension, a proposal he rejected.
Officials have stated that further discussions will take place in the coming months as Vlahovic’s contract nears its expiration, and his future remains uncertain.
