According to the well-known Italian journalist Daniele Longo, Serbian international striker Vlahovic is eager to change his lifestyle after spending four seasons at Juventus, and his next stop may be the Premier League. Vlahovic believes that the Premier League is the most exciting to his own game style and characteristics, so he yearns for it.

Vlahovic is 25 years old and is still in the prime of his career. In January 2022, he joined Juventus for a transfer fee of up to 80 million euros. At that time, he happened to take over Ronaldo and become the super striker of the Zebras. When he first joined, his performance was remarkable, and he repeatedly contributed goals in some key games, showing strong offensive ability. In the second half of the 2021-22 season, he played 21 times for Juventus, contributing 9 goals and 1 assist, and also scored 4 goals to become the top scorer of the Italian Cup of Italy this season, and was named the Italian Players' Union to the best team of the Serie A season. However, as time goes by, Vlahovic gradually entered a bottleneck period at Juventus, and his performance has become increasingly mediocre.

Juventus, in the face of Vlahovic's willingness to leave the team, he is also actively seeking to maximize his interests. They are ready to negotiate with Premier League clubs, with a psychological price starting at €50 million. From Juventus's perspective, the sale of Vlahovic can relieve the team's salary pressure on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also cash out a lot of funds for the team's lineup adjustment and the introduction of new players. After all, Vlahovic's contract expires next year. If the contract cannot be renewed, he is likely to leave the team freely next summer, and then Juventus may lose both his or her wealth.

At present, two giant teams in the Premier League want to sign Vlahovic. One is Arsenal, and the other is the new rich Newcastle United. Arsenal director Berta has put Vlahovic's name on the shortlist. Arsenal is currently working to bring Rodrigo and a center to the team. In the shortlist of centers, Dzekérais is ranked first, Seshko is ranked second, and Vlahovic is the No. 3 signing target. Judging from the transfer price, Vlahovic only needs 40-50 million euros, which has a very big price advantage compared to other target players. If Arsenal encounters obstacles in their pursuit of Dzekelish and Seshko, they will inevitably pursue Vlahovic with all their might.

In addition to Arsenal, Newcastle United is also playing with Vlahovic's idea. Newcastle United has the intention to strengthen the forward line, and Vlahovic's technical and tactical characteristics are more in line with the Magpies' Legion, so they naturally hope to sign the Serbian international forward.

For Vlahovic, joining the Premier League is both an opportunity and a challenge. The Premier League is famous for its high-intensity confrontation and fast-paced game style, which is a great test for players' physical fitness and game adaptability. Vlahovic is physically strong and has great impact in the frontcourt. His goal-grabbing and shooting ability in front of the goal is also very outstanding. There should be no big problem to adapt to the Premier League. This summer, we will wait and see who will eventually fall in love with him.
