Dusan Vlahovic of Fiorentina has a condition that must be met if Arsenal is to bring him to Emirates Stadium in January.
The 21-year-old prolific attacker wants to play football at the top level, according to Serie A journalist James Horncastle. Yes, according to rumours, Vlahovic wants to play in the Champions League with any team he joins.
Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, unfortunately, have not competed in European competition since 2017. The Gunners are now in fourth place in the Premier League table, but that position does not guarantee that they will remain there at the end of the season.
In fact, given Vlahovic’s financial demands, Arsenal might easily sign him. The forward’s management are seeking £15 million in fees and £300,000 per week in pay.
During BBC Radio 5 Live’s Euro Leagues podcast, Horncastle discussed the Serbian striker. “Arsenal has spoken to Fiorentina about Vlahovic 30 times,” he claimed. They know how much it will cost and what would constitute an acceptable framework for getting it done.”
“However, the reality is that he aspires to play in the Champions League.” He’s a gifted musician who has remained steady throughout his career.
“The reality for teams interested in him is that they must make a strong case to show they are on the rise.” We’ll be competing for trophies in the Champions League.”
