FIORENTINA SLAM €80M FEE ON STRIKER

Fiorentina star DusanVlahovic is one of the most in-demand strikers on the European football stage and his Italian football side has slammed an asking price of €80m (£68.4m) on him as interested clubs attempt to sign him ahead of the resumption of the transfer window in the New Year.

Serbian international Vlahovic is one of the best strikers on the Italian football scene. The 21-year-old is an out-and-out central striker who finds the back of the net regularly. Vlahovic enjoyed a breakthrough season in Italian football when he scored 21 goals for Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A. The Serbian player has ten goals already this season and he could score at least 30 goals in the Italian football top flight this season if he maintains his current rate of finding the back of the net in the Italian Serie A.

Vlahovic has 18 months left on his Fiorentina contract and it doesn’t look like the player will sign a new deal at the club. To this effect, Fiorentina might struggle to raise their asking price of €80m (£68.4m) from him.

Goal Italia revealed via a report that Fiorentina are prepared to sell Vlahovic in the January transfer window amidst interest from clubs in Italy and England. Juventus are said to be keen to do a deal for the young striker, but La Viola are determined to sell him to an English club.

Vlahovic has been linked with English clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Liverpool.

Spurs targeted Vlahovic in the summer as a potential replacement for England striker Harry Kane who was a strong target for Premier League holders Manchester City. He has been linked with a move to North London giants Arsenal in recent days with the Gunners keen to sign a young striker.
