Liverpool Reportedly Open Talks for Juventus Striker Dušan Vlahović
An urgent search for cover after Alexander Isak’s fracture meets uncertainty over the Serbian’s injury-hit availability.
Overview
- Spanish outlet Fichajes, relayed by Football Talk and CaughtOffside, reports Liverpool have contacted Juventus regarding a January transfer.
- Juventus are said to be open to a sale for about €20m (£17m), and Liverpool are prepared to match a reported €12m-a-year salary.
- Vlahović’s contract expires at the end of the season, with reports indicating Juventus are reluctant to renew on his current terms.
- Coverage notes a groin injury that could keep Vlahović out until mid-March, raising doubts about an immediate impact if he moves in January.
- Liverpool’s forward options are stretched by Isak’s fracture, Mohamed Salah’s AFCON duty and Cody Gakpo’s injury, leaving Hugo Ekitike as the only centre-forward.
