Over in Italy, Juventus is facing a contract stalemate with striker Dusan Vlahovic. As reported by Calciomercato, the 25-year-old has shown no interest in extending his stay with the Bianconeri. With nine goals in 22 Serie A games this season, Vlahovic is a hot commodity, and Juventus is now looking to part ways with him in the next transfer window. Arsenal was previously linked with him in January.
Last but not least, Manchester United is eyeing RB Leipzig’s attacking midfielder Xavi Simons. According to TEAMtalk, the Red Devils would need to shell out over €50 million to land the 21-year-old Netherlands international. However, manager Ruben Amorim is prioritizing other areas of his squad first, and United would need to offload some players before making a move for Simons.
That’s all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more updates as the transfer window drama unfolds. Whether you’re a fan of the Bundesliga, Premier League, or Serie A, there’s plenty to keep you on the edge of your seat.
