TBR Football understands that Juventus are ready to sell Dusan Vlahovic in January, and Tottenham Hotspur are showing an interest in the striker.
Juventus were keen to move Vlahovic on in the summer, but despite interest from a host of clubs, including former boss Max Allegri at AC Milan, a deal could not be agreed.
During the summer transfer window, Juventus signed Jonathan David and Lois Openda, which means the 25-year-old’s importance has decreased.
Now, heading into the January transfer window, Juventus are talking to clubs about a possible deal, including Tottenham Hotspur.
Sources: Juventus want £20m for Dusan Vlahovic, Tottenham are interested
Juventus will make Dusan Vlahovic available for just £20 million in January, and this appeals to Tottenham, sources have told TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey.
As TBR Football previously reported, both Tottenham and Chelsea are keen on Vlahovic, but there is also interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Juve’s issue is that the striker is free to sign a pre-contract with clubs from abroad, with the Serbian international out of contract next summer.
Obviously, they can’t stop him from signing a pre-contract, but whilst that has not happened, there is a chance he could move in the January window.
TBR Football confirm that Juve are now open to a deal in the New Year, and this is where Spurs could hold an advantage.
Most of the other clubs keen on Vlahovic are thinking summer free transfer, meanwhile, the North London club are open to a deal in January.
Fabio Paratici, who just returned to Tottenham, is a big fan of the 25-year-old and is making a deal in January a possibility.
Thomas Frank has concerns over Tottenham’s strikers
Spurs could well be on the hunt for a new number nine in the winter window, given the fact that Thomas Frank has concerns over his current options.
Richarlison and Mathys Tel have struggled to find any sort of rhythm when given their chances, and Dominic Solanke has been missing with an ankle injury.
Randal Kolo Muani, formerly of Juventus, is yet to make an impact at Spurs, although he did show signs of promise away at Everton.
