Dusan Vlahovic: Manchester United Join Race For Arsenal Target

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus in the upcoming January transfer window.

According to reports, United have added the 24-year-old striker to their list of targets.

Vlahovic is out of contract with Juventus in June 2026, so the Italian giants may look to cash in and secure a decent transfer fee.

Talks of a new deal are ongoing but are believed to have reached an impasse. Football Insider reported on Tuesday that Arsenal are keen on signing the forward, but it now appears Manchester United are joining the race.

With the player’s contract situation uncertain, he is being monitored by a number of top clubs across Europe.

So far this season, Vlahovic has ten goals and two assists in 18 appearances for Juventus.

Following the appointment of former Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim, it has been widely reported that United are keen on Viktor Gyokeres.

The Sporting star has a superb relationship with Amorim, and is believed to be interested in reuniting.

Swedish international Gyokeres has scored a phenomenal 68 goals in 73 total appearances for Sporting.

United are expected to make signing the 26-year-old a major priority in the summer.

New Arrival Joshua Zirkzee has struggled, and was brought in under old boss Erik ten Hag, so may not be the sort of player Amorim favours.

Zirkzee has just three goals in 23 United appearances, and is performing well below the level required.

As a result, it seems likely the club will aim to bring in a top-level striker at Old Trafford.

Whether this will be Viktor Gyokeres, Dusan Vlahovic – or somebody else – remains to be seen. But what is clear is that the Red Devils need somebody who can reliably score goals for them.

Rasmus Hojlund has looked dangerous, but he is another who needs to up his conversion rate significantly.

At the moment, Alejandro Garnacho United’s top scorer across all competitions, with eight so far.
