Vlahovic responds to Atlético's interest with a double

Dusan Vlahovic is on everyone's lips. Atlético has turned to the fight to get their services, while in England, Tottenham is the great interested in signing the young pearl in case Harry Kane leaves and in Italy Inter does not lose sight of him as substitute for Lukaku, while Fiorentina tries to get a renovation that a few weeks ago was taken for granted.

But, at the moment it has not been signed and the 21-year-old player ends his contract in 2023. While his future is still up in the air, last night he debuted in an official match with Fiorentina and he did it as he characterizes, drilling nets. Scored two goals in the 4-0 Cup win over Cosenza, from the second division, and left at the end of the game thanking the fans for their support in what could be a farewell.

Atlético has pressed and Andrea Berta is working to try to convince the player and Fiorentina and thus add the striker that Simeone is looking for to complete his squad. Griezmann's option was complicated by the departure of Messi from Barcelona, ​​although the return of the Frenchman would be to Cholo's pleasure. Vlahovic is a very different profile, a classic striker with a large plant (he measures 1.90), who stands out in the game from the back and in the definition, scoring 21 goals last season despite Fiorentina's bad year, which was at the bottom of the table.

With a cannon in his left hand, Vlahovic has been evolving at a meteoric speed and his market value has multiplied from the six million with which the year 2020 began to the current 40 for the specialized website Transfermarkt. According to information from the Italian media, Atlético's offer would be close to 60 million, while Fiorentina would be requesting 70 and his renewal plan was to extend the forward's contract until 2026, placing a termination clause of 80 million, also in line with the drastic salary increase.

La Repubblica explains that they are crucial hours for the footballer, who will have to decide between the offers of Atlético and Tottenham or sign their renewal with Fiorentina. Vlahovic defined himself in April as one of the forwards of the future and put his eyes on Erling Haaland. “I watch him. I try to understand his completion and how he moves. Then I focus on my strengths and weaknesses. He may be presumptuous, but with commitment, I can get to his level too“Atlético know that if Vlahovic explodes it may be their last chance to take over their services, before their value becomes unaffordable. But the competition is tough, their price is high and the suitors are multiplying. Vlahovic, for now, continues to do what he does best: score goals.
