newcastle united Dusan has stepped in for Vlahovic, whose situation at Juventus is becoming increasingly uncertain.
As things stand, the Serbian's contract in Turin expires in the summer. He has had a season hampered by injuries, most recently coming back from a groin problem and a calf problem.
The striker scored a fine goal against Lecce at the weekend, giving Juve a 1–0 win.
This comes just days after he scored a vital equalizer against Hellas Verona. Despite problems throughout the campaign, his impact has been clearly seen in the Champions League race. Juve currently find themselves in the top four and Vlahovic's contribution has come at the right time.
sports witness English interest in him has already been covered, with Tottenham being mentioned as potential suitors. Time is running out for a new deal and Newcastle United are attempting to make a move.
Vlahovic sets conditions for transfer
today's tuttosport The Serbia international pays attention to the situation, marking his possible options in the summer. There is no dearth of clubs who could sign him but things have not gone in the right direction yet.
Juve are also hesitant about whether they can afford to pay him a huge salary, sign-on bonus and commission to his agent.
There remains interest from Bayern Munich and Barcelona but there has been no concrete result. The German side made inquiries but Vlahovic does not want to play second fiddle to Harry Kane.
Recently, Atletico Madrid have also stepped forward. He may not even be able to offer regular first-team minutes until Alexander Sörloth leaves.
Meanwhile, interest from Newcastle United has emerged. He has inquired about the terms of the deal and tried to understand the financial situation involved.
The Magpies cannot attract the striker. Even if they can hand him regular football, he is still keen to play in the Champions League. Eddie Howe's team will not play any European football next season, making them less attractive.
As a result, the forward could seriously consider staying in Turin.
Deal is risky for Newcastle United
Dusan Vlahovic's goalscoring abilities can never be doubted. His performance against Lecce was brilliant. Even when Juve struggled to serve under Max Allegri, he still managed to score goals.
His fitness has not been that good. Muscle injuries have increased – as is evident from the ongoing campaign. Therefore Newcastle United should think carefully.
Even if Vlahovic is available for free, he is still in a position to command a high salary. Their group will demand large commissions, as well as player sign-on bonuses.
