Rumors have been circulating in the Italian media in recent days that FC Bayern is dealing with center forward Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus Turin. What is the truth of these speculations?
Yes, it is true that the German record champions have dealt with the personnel several times. Especially before his 82 million transfer from AC Florence to the Old Lady in Turin, the Serbian national player was discussed at FC Bayern.
Even then, in the summer and autumn of 2021, there were no concrete considerations to seriously get involved in courting the goalscorer. “Bild” football boss Christian Falk said in his podcast “Bavaria insider“: “Dusan Vlahovic was interesting for Bayern, they felt it beforehand. They couldn’t bring themselves to bid for him when he was still with Florence.”
With Vlahovic, the top floor of the German record champions always hesitated and was out at the latest when the mega transfer with a transfer fee of over 80 million euros was initiated with Juventus Turin in the last winter transfer phase.
FC Bayern does not have Vlahovic on the list
Since Juve has committed the center forward until 2026, a possible obligation for Vlahovic should be “financially currently absolutely unimaginable” from Bayern’s point of view.
Especially since there are still doubters at FC Bayern who question the sporting qualities of the native of Belgrade with regard to his huge transfer fee.
To date, Vlahovic has scored 13 goals in 29 competitive games for Juventus. Not a bad goal rate, but not an outstanding one either for a classic center forward who wants to become the best in his field one day.
Summary: According to the current status, the regular Bianconeri player is absolutely not an issue at Säbener Straße. Neither for next January nor for the summer of 2023.
