Barcelona eye Vlahovic as Lewandowski replacement, says report | OneFootball

With an eye on the future of its offensive sector, Barcelona is reportedly monitoring possible forwards to replace the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, whose contract runs until the end of the year and, for now, has not yet been renewed. One of the Spanish club's targets is said to be the Serbian player Dusan Vlahovic, from Juventus.

In addition to Vlahovic, another name on Barcelona's list is said to be the Cameroonian Karl Etta Eyong, 21 years old, who was a revelation at the start of the season with Villarreal and Levante. However, the youngster reportedly has a release clause valued at €30 million (about R$191 million). The information comes from the newspaper “Tuttosport”.

One of Barcelona's directors, the Portuguese Deco, is said to have contacted the striker's agent, Darko Ristic, to learn more about Vlahovic's situation at Juventus. Negotiations between the club and the striker to renew his contract are reportedly stalled, and the Serbian has decided to end his spell in Italy in search of a new challenge.

However, the aforementioned newspaper also stated that Vlahovic does not intend to leave Juventus in this summer transfer window. Thus, he would have a better chance of securing a better contract in the summer as a free agent. The striker has four goals and one assist in eight games this season.

Other interested parties

Besides Barcelona, Bayern Munich is also said to be another major club interested in signing Vlahovic, but the German club is reportedly well advanced in renewing Harry Kane's contract. However, the Serbian's name is said to be more highly regarded by Barça due to his potential to be signed at no cost.
