The European season has come to an end, and clubs have started announcing the departure of some players, as was the case with Juventus (ITA). The Italian team announced that Serbian center forward Dusan Vlahovic is available on the market. The player is a dream signing for José Boto, director of Flamengo.
Dusan Vlahovic joined Juventus in January 2022 for a record fee. However, the Serbian was unable to show the same level of football he had displayed at Fiorentina (ITA). As a result, he did not renew his contract and ended up leaving the Turin side on a free transfer.
José Boto had already expressed interest in Dusan Vlahovic in July last year. Now Flamengo’s director, the Portuguese professional stated that money would not be the problem, but rather convincing the striker to play in Brazilian football.
— For what we need right now, I would think of Vlahovic. Our problem would not be money, but convincing these big names to come to Brazil. In football, never say never — said José Boto in an interview with the Italian outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport in July 2025.
Despite leaving Juventus, Dusan Vlahovic has been targeted by clubs from Europe’s top leagues. The center forward, who scored ten goals in 23 matches last season, is only 26 years old and wants to continue playing in Europe.
Flamengo is scouting the market for new players for the attacking sector. José Boto’s idea is to strengthen the center forward position to rotate with Pedro, the team’s current starter. It is worth mentioning that Wallace Yan is also part of the squad.
