MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea are keen on signing Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic in the January transfer window.
Vlahovic, 25, has been linked with a move to the Premier League ever since 2022 when he burst onto the scene with Fiorentina before opting for Juve.
The striker also received interest during this past summer with Newcastle touted as a potential destination.
But SunSport understand no suitor was willing to pay him the same wages he pockets in Turin.
The Serbia international makes a net salary worth £10.4million per year with the Bianconeri.
According to Gazzetta, United and Chelsea are now considering a January bid for Vlahovic.
Juventus are determined to sell the Serbian during the upcoming winter market.
That is because the centre-forward’s contract runs out in June 2026 and thus would leave the Old Lady for free in the summer.
The Serie A giants are willing to sell Vlahovic on a bargain price just to avoid losing him for nothing.
That would help Man Utd and Chelsea to avoid an inevitable bidding war as long as they paid in advance.
United and the Blues would be able to sign Vlahovic for a much lower price than the fee they would have to splash if he became a free agent.
The forward has so far amassed four goals and one assist in six appearances across all competitions this season with Juventus.
This adds to his grand total of 62 goals and 15 assists in 151 appearances since joining the club three years ago.
Vlahovic has found himself in a three-horse race for a place in Juventus manager Igor Tudor’s line-up while facing competition from the likes of Jonathan David and Lois Openda.
