Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal in the Premier League, Paris Saint-Germain in France or Juventus of Turin in Serie A. The name of Fiorentina forward Dusan Vlahovic has been linked to that of some of the great European clubs. While these teams will enter the transfer market with money and, above all, their prestige to take over the services of the Serbian striker, Newcastle United will do so at the stroke of a checkbook. The ‘new rich’ of both English and world football is ready to burst the transfer market and, according to the British newspaper The Sun, the 21-year-old forward’s name is marked in red.
As reported from England, the Magpies prepare an offer of £ 70M (about € 80M) to incorporate the ram who, to date, has scored 12 goals in 14 games this season between league and cup with Fiorentina. In addition, The Sun points out that the English team would have had scouts following Dusan Vlahovic during the last national team break. The Serbian forward, who scored a goal and gave an assist in a friendly against Qatar, played the 90 minutes as a starter against Portugal and, although he did not manage to see the goal, he ended up achieving direct qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Newcastle, with Eddie Howe as their new coach and still looking for a sporting director, are beginning to probe the market for their first major addition following the purchase of the club by the Saudi fund. Dusan Vlahovic, who ends his contract with Fiorentina in 2023, will leave the viola team in the next summer transfer market, as the president of the club Rocco B. Commisso suggested. Nevertheless, much of the options that the Serbian ends up landing in the Magpies go through the continuity of Newcastle in the elite of English football. At the moment they are bottom, with just 6 points.
