Barcelona Step Up Move for Vlahović With Lewandowski’s Future Unclear

Talks with the Juventus striker’s camp signal a possible pre-contract for next summer.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Barcelona have re-opened contacts over Dušan Vlahović as a leading option to succeed Robert Lewandowski.
  • Vlahović can sign a pre-contract within the next week for a free transfer in the summer, with a January deal described as unlikely but not ruled out.
  • Radio reports cited by Football España say a Juventus renewal is viewed as almost impossible, increasing the likelihood of an exit.
  • Barcelona’s wage limits mean Vlahović would need to accept reduced terms to fit the club’s salary structure, according to the reporting.
  • The Serbia international recently had adductor surgery and is not expected back until around March 2026, a factor in timing and planning.
