Barcelona have added Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic to their shortlist of potential replacements for Robert Lewandowski.
The Serbian forward, who has been on the radar of top clubs since his breakthrough at Fiorentina, is reportedly a target for the Catalan giants ahead of the summer transfer window.
Vlahovic, 23, joined Juventus in a high-profile €80 million move but has had a mixed spell, netting 53 goals in 125 appearances for the Italian side.
So far this season, he has scored 12 goals in 24 appearances.
With his contract set to expire in 2026, Juventus may consider selling him next summer to avoid losing him on a free transfer later.
Barcelona view Vlahovic as a more realistic option compared to other targets like Erling Haaland and Viktor Gyokeres, whose transfer costs are deemed prohibitive.
Arsenal and Chelsea have also shown interest in the Serbian striker, while Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have been previously linked but are no longer pursuing him.
Reports suggest that Barcelona’s head coach, Hansi Flick, is a fan of Vlahovic, and is open to signing him.
