Real Madrid is reportedly set to secure the signing of 23-year-old Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in a deal worth €70 million if they fail to acquire Kylian Mbappe.
Defensa Central has revealed that Dusan Vlahovic may make his way to Real Madrid during the summer transfer window. The Spanish club has already reached an agreement for the 23-year-old Juventus striker, with the deal valued at €70 million. This move will only materialize if their pursuit of Kylian Mbappe falls through.
Over the past 30 months, Dusan Vlahovic has established himself as one of the finest strikers in Serie A. After a remarkable 12-month stint with Fiorentina, he joined Juventus in January 2022. Despite his recent transfer, Vlahovic’s value remains high, attracting interest from top-tier clubs, including Real Madrid. In fact, intermediaries reportedly approached the Spanish club last month, offering them the opportunity to sign the Serbian international in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The French forward is the club’s primary target this summer, with numerous reports linking him to a potential move. However, if Mbappe does not join Real Madrid, Vlahovic will become their top priority. It is worth noting that pursuing Vlahovic may impact their plans to pursue Mbappe in 2024.
Real Madrid and Juventus have already agreed on a €70 million deal for the Serbian striker. This sum represents the initial fee that Juventus paid Fiorentina when they acquired Vlahovic 18 months ago.
Despite the claims made by Defensa Central, there are widespread reports suggesting that Real Madrid will focus solely on signing Mbappe this summer, with no additional acquisitions. As a result, the likelihood of a summer transfer for Vlahovic remains uncertain. The validity of a €70 million deal coming to fruition is an interesting aspect to monitor in the coming weeks.
