Juventus manager Max Allegri interested in signing Arsenal star - Reports

Juventus manager Max Allegri is interested in signing Arsenal star Bukayo Saka while offering Serbian international Dusan Vlahovic to the Gunners in return, according to Calciomercato.

The 21-year-old England international has already established himself as one of football's most promising young talents.

However, Juventus may have to get creative to land the young winger. The Italian giants are reportedly considering offering Serbian international Dusan Vlahovic in a trade deal to try and persuade Arsenal to sell Saka. Vlahovic, who is 22 years old, is a highly-rated striker who has scored 16 goals in 36 appearances at the Allianz Stadium since his arrival in January 2022.

A potential trade would see Vlahovic join the north London-based club while Saka would make a move to Juventus. It is unclear at this stage whether Arsenal would be interested in such a deal. Still, it is thought that Juventus are keen to bring in fresh talent to help revitalize their squad after a disappointing ongoing season.

Saka has been instrumental to Mikel Arteta's ecosystem at the Emirates Stadium, playing a pivotal role in their domination in the ongoing Premier League season. He has seven goals and six assists in 22 appearances for the Gunners this season.

Vlahovic, on the other hand, dumped huge offers from Premier League clubs, including the Gunners, to join Juventus in the 2022 January transfer window. However, the Serbian international has found himself at a crossroads with club manager Allegri and is reportedly seeking a way out.

Sensing an opportunity to poach him, the Gunners have begun their pursuit again. Meanwhile, Chelsea are also being linked with the talented 22-year-old striker for a move in the winter transfer window.

It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will entertain any offers for Bukayo Saka, but a deal involving Vlahovic might change the dynamics around it.
