It has been reported that Newcastle United has identified their ideal replacement for Alexander Isak, which has provided Liverpool with a significant boost in their pursuit of the player.
A number of Premier League clubs have already started making early moves in preparation for the opening of the transfer window in June, which is occurring as the clubs are getting ready to play their final games of the season.
Isak, a star player for Newcastle United, has been linked with a number of clubs, including Liverpool, which is looking to replace Darwin Nunez. This is likely to be the most significant story that will be discussed in the days leading up to the transfer window opens.
And now, the Merseyside club has been given a massive boost in their pursuit of the Swedish striker, as it has been reported that Newcastle has begun preparing for life without Isak by scouting players who would be the ideal replacement for him.
Due to the fact that Isak has scored 19 goals for Newcastle this season across 25 Premier League appearances, Eddie Howe would need to bring in a top talent if he hopes to replicate the success of the Swede in the event that he is sold.
According to a report that was published by the Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport, the manager of the Geordie team believes that he may have found his man. This is because it is believed that Newcastle are looking to acquire the services of Dusan Vlahovic, a striker who currently plays for Juventus.
There have been reports that Vlahovic’s team and Juventus have reached a consensus that it would be beneficial for the Serbian player to leave the club this summer. This is despite the fact that Vlahovic has been performing well for the Serie A giants this season.
This season, the 25-year-old has made 35 appearances across all competitions, and he has scored 14 goals and assisted on three more goals than anything else.
In the past, Juventus had hoped that they would be able to persuade Vlahovic to remain with the club. However, the club now believes that reaching an agreement on a new contract would not be financially viable for them because Vlahovic is unwilling to compromise on his wage demands.
Vlahovic moved to Juventus from Fiorentina, another team in Serie A, for a staggering £66 million. However, it has been reported that Juventus would be willing to accept a bid of approximately €45 million (£37.5 million) for the young striker this summer.
Newcastle United is not the only club that is reportedly considering making a move for Vlahovic; Arsenal and Manchester United are also believed to be monitoring his current situation. However, Newcastle United is not the only club that is reportedly considering making a move!
