Barcelona and Bayern Munich have made contact with Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic ahead of a potential free transfer over the summer, but the Serbia international still has no agreement to leave the Allianz Stadium.

Vlahovic is one of the highest-rated players available on a free transfer in June as his Juventus contract runs out at the end of the season.

Juventus still hope to extend Vlahovic’s contract

Fabrizio Romano has provided the latest updates on the Serbian striker after Juventus director Marco Ottolini admitted the club still hopes to extend with the 26-year-old.

Romano confirmed that talks between Juventus and Vlahovic are on hold, but the ex-Fiorentina striker hasn’t signed with any other club yet.

Barcelona have already made contact with Vlahovic, but Bayern Munich are an option as well, Romano confirmed.

Barcelona are looking for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, while Bayern need a backup for Harry Kane as Nicolas Jackson will leave at the end of the season.

However, Bayern last made contact with Vlahovic around October/November and have not made a formal proposal yet.

Vlahovic also remains on Milan’s radar as Massimiliano Allegri already worked with the Serbia international at Juventus.
