Juventus market, a major accelerates the pace for one of its bigs

Ever more active in the market, Barcelona may be moving up the timetable to secure the center forward destined to pick up Robert Lewandowski’s legacy. The Polish veteran, now close to a farewell to Catalonia and La Liga, does not seem willing to give in to Atletico Madrid’s enticements. More likely, however, is a move to Al-Nassr by Cristiano Ronaldo, with AC Milan remaining in the background but without concrete margins.

Until recently, it was thought at the Blaugrana home to wait until the summer to attempt an assault on Victor Osimhen, also a target of Juventus. But the unknowns related to Lewandowski’s physical fitness and motivation are pushing the management to consider more immediate solutions. And so the Dusan Vlahovic hypothesis is gaining momentum, with a possible landing as early as early 2026.

The Serbian center forward, who seems to have regained harmony with the Juventus fans, nevertheless remains in the balance. As early as last summer, Juventus would not have resisted in the face of a fair offer, and his contract expiring in June 2026 imposes strategic reflections: losing him at zero would be a risk the Bianconeri club cannot afford.

A class of 2000, at Juventus since January 2022, Dusan Vlahovic returned to goal against Udinese in the 3-1 win Wednesday night, scoring the momentary 1-0 penalty. The Serbian had not scored in the league since last Aug. 31, when he scored the decisive goal to defeat Genoa at Marassi on 73′, just minutes after he entered the field in place of Jonathan David.
