Arsenal in Dusan Vlahovic transfer blow with ‘Juventus only club he wants to join after waving bye to Fiorentina fans’
ARSENAL target Dusan Vlahovic has appeared to wave goodbye to Fiorentina fans – but it’s claimed he ‘only wants to join Juventus’.
The Gunners have reportedly offered £50million plus Lucas Torreira for the Serbia striker, 21.
But Italian journalist Giacomo Scutiero says the goal machine agreed terms with Juve THREE MONTHS AGO.
The Serie A giants have reportedly agreed to pay Vlahovic‘s agent’s huge commission fees.
Fiorentina had hoped to persuade him to extend his contract beyond June 2023.
But the former Partizan starlet seems increasingly likely to depart in this month’s transfer window.
Vlahovic and loan midfielder Torrera netted in the second half of Monday’s 6-0 top-flight romp against second-bottom Genoa.
And although the 14-cap hitman missed a penalty before the break, his most significant moment came when he raised his arms in what seemed a signal to home supporters that he would soon be leaving.
Manager Vincenzo Italiano said after his side went sixth with victory: “At the moment we enjoy Dusan here at Fiorentina.
“He’s with us – I don’t know about the future.

“He scored a great goal today. I see him very motivated and relaxed.”
Vlahovic has hit 17 goals in 21 Serie A matches this season, plus three in the Coppa Italia.
In all, he has netted 41 goals in his last 62 games for Fiorentina.
