Dusan Vlahovic is being considered by Atletico de Madrid, with the former Juventus striker emerging as a possible target for Diego Simeone’s side.
The Spanish club are assessing the prospect of signing the 26-year-old Serbia international, but formal negotiations will only begin if Atletico de Madrid part company with one of their current forwards. The information was reported by Transfer News Live, citing journalist Matteo Moretto.
Vlahovic left Juventus at the end of last season as a free agent and is now considering his next step. Atletico de Madrid’s interest gives him the possibility of remaining in one of Europe’s leading domestic leagues, although the proposed move is dependent on developments within Simeone’s squad.
The Madrid club are examining Vlahovic as a potential replacement for Alexander Sorloth. The Norway striker is attracting interest from clubs in Turkey, meaning his departure could create space for Atletico de Madrid to pursue the former Juventus player.
No concrete talks are currently under way. Instead, the situation is linked to whether Atletico de Madrid decide to allow one of their existing players to leave. Should Sorloth move on, Vlahovic could become a candidate to fill the place left in Simeone’s attack.
Vlahovic also has an option in the Turkish top flight, where he has been linked with Besiktas. That provides the forward with an alternative route as he weighs his future after leaving Juventus without a transfer fee.
The striker’s availability as a free agent has made him a possible solution for clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options. However, Atletico de Madrid’s interest remains at an exploratory stage until the club’s squad situation becomes clearer.
For now, Vlahovic is linked with both Atletico de Madrid and Besiktas, while any move to Spain will depend on whether the Madrid side complete a departure from their current squad.
