Vlahović Fuels Transfer Rumors with Social Media Activity

Dušan Vlahović’s recent social media activity has ignited speculation about a potential move away from Juventus, with Manchester United reportedly monitoring the situation. Could the Red Devils capitalize on this unrest?

Social Media Stir

Following Juventus’ defeat to Real Madrid in the World Club Cup, Vlahović liked a celebratory post from Jude Bellingham, fueling rumors of discontent. He then posted cryptic photos captioned “devet,” meaning “nine” in Serbian.

Possible Exit Triggered by New Arrival?

Juventus is reportedly nearing a deal for Jonathan David, suggesting Thiago Motta may no longer consider Vlahović a key player. This could prompt Juventus to offload the Serbian striker at a reduced price.

As of June 2024, Juventus has a market value of $1.98 billion U.S. dollars, exhibiting its presence in the football market Statista 2024.

Manchester United’s Interest

Manchester United’s need for a striker is well-known, and Vlahović could be a viable option. While not currently a top target, his availability at a lower cost might entice United, especially given their budget constraints.

Potential Bidding War

Besides United, Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray are also reportedly interested in Vlahović. Saudi clubs have also registered interest. However, a move to the Middle East may be unlikely given his age and profile.

Højlund’s Future Impact

If Rasmus Højlund departs from Manchester United, the club may need to acquire multiple strikers, further increasing the appeal of a potential deal for Vlahović.

Pre-Season on the Horizon

While no formal offer has been made, Manchester United is closely monitoring the situation as pre-season approaches. They remain alert to the possibility of securing Vlahović’s services.
