Barcelona’s search for a prolific striker appears to be nearing a dramatic conclusion, with strong claims emerging that Juventus forward Dušan Vlahović has chosen the Catalan giants as his next club.
Juventus Star Vlahović ‘Is Going to Join Barcelona’, Says Close Associate
The Serbian international, whose contract with the Italian heavyweight expires this summer, is poised to leave Turin as a free agent.
According to a report from Diario Sport, citing Serbian sources, Vlahović has already decided to continue his career at Spotify Camp Nou.
Adding significant weight to the rumor is a statement from Dusan Ilic, a Serbian physical trainer and a close acquaintance of the player.
Ilic spoke directly about the anticipated move in an interview with Italian publication Tuttosport.
“He is going to Barça. That’s what I believe,” Ilic stated confidently.
He also revealed that the 24-year-old striker previously had an opportunity to move to Spain, specifically from Atlético Madrid, before his switch to Juventus.
“Before leaving for Juventus he was already able to play in Spain because he had an offer from Atletico, but he chose to stay in Italy. Now it’s different.”
This potential transfer would solve a persistent problem for Barcelona, who have lacked a consistent, world-class number nine since the departure of Luis Suárez.
Vlahović’s powerful physique and proven goal-scoring ability in Serie A make him a highly coveted asset.
While the player’s camp seems to be signaling a definitive direction, official confirmation from either Juventus or Barcelona remains pending.
The coming months will be critical as Vlahović formally enters the final phase of his contract, but the growing belief is that his future now lies firmly in Catalunya.
