Juventus forward makes one final push to join Barcelona amid Ferran Torres uncertainty – report According to Mundo Deportivo , Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has once again offered himself to Barcelona as the club searches for a new centre-forward following Robert Lewandowski’s departure. While Julian Alvarez remains Barcelona’s top target, uncertainty surrounding Ferran Torres’ future has created another possible opening in Hansi Flick’s attack, encouraging the Serbian striker to renew his interest in a move to the Camp Nou. Julian Alvarez the top priority Barcelona continue to focus their efforts on signing Alvarez. The Argentine has publicly stated his desire to leave Atletico Madrid this summer, admitting he wants to fulfill his dream of playing for Barcelona. Within the club, he is viewed as the ideal long-term successor to Lewandowski. Negotiating with Atletico, however, is expected to be extremely complicated, forcing Barcelona to keep alternative options under consideration.

When asked shortly afterwards whether he could guarantee he would remain at Barcelona next season, Ferran opted sidestep the question. His response has increased uncertainty within the club’s attacking plans. Should Ferran leave alongside Lewandowski, Barcelona would require another centre-forward capable of leading the line. Vlahovic offers himself again Sensing an opportunity, Vlahovic has once again made his availability known to Barcelona. The 26-year-old Serbian striker is approaching the end of his Juventus contract, which expires on June 30, and negotiations over a renewal have stalled. An extension is increasingly unlikely, potentially allowing Vlahovic to become available on a free transfer. Recognising Barcelona’s need for a striker, the Serbian has once again presented himself as an option for the Catalan club. Unlike Alvarez, whose game is built around movement, pressing and combination play, Vlahovic offers a more traditional profile as a penalty-box striker and aerial target.

The Serbian would provide Hansi Flick with a different type of forward and greater tactical variety in attack. Although no transfer fee would be required, signing Vlahovic would still represent a significant financial commitment. The striker is seeking a salary of around €8 million per season, along with a signing bonus worth approximately €15 million. Barcelona must therefore assess whether those financial demands fit within the club’s wage structure and long-term planning. Other clubs unterested Barcelona are not the only side monitoring the Serbian’s situation. Bayern Munich, Besiktas and Atletico Madrid have all been linked with Vlahovic in recent weeks. For now, Barcelona’s priority remains Alvarez. However, if negotiations become impossible or Ferran ultimately departs, Vlahovic has positioned himself as an experienced, low-cost alternative capable of strengthening Flick’s attacking options without requiring a major transfer fee.
