Manchester United have reportedly targeted Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic in order to bolster their attacking options.
Vlahovic has scored six goals in 11 Serie A games this season, in what has been an injury-disrupted campaign for the Serbian frontman.
With Napoli revelation Victor Osimhen seemingly out of their price range and Tottenham Hotspur reluctant to sell Harry Kane, the Red Devils may decide to explore a deal which would bring Vlahovic to the club, especially given Juventus' precarious position at the moment.
With the Old Lady set to miss out on Champions League qualification after their heavy 15-point deduction in Serie A, they may find it difficult to retain their star players.
Reports from the Manchester Evening News suggest that Erik ten Hag will allow Anthony Martial to leave the club this summer, so signing a new number nine will be of high priority for United.
Despite making a 30-minute cameo in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg versus Nottingham Forest, Martial was injured again for their league win over Crystal Palace at the weekend, as Burnley loanee Wout Weghorst has become something of a regular since joining in January.
However, Ten Hag may be looking for an upgrade to lead the line and, when fit, Vlahovic has scored with regularity, as 38 league goals in his final 18 months at Fiorentina saw Juventus spend an initial £63m on him.
They may face stiff competition from Arsenal for the Serbian's signature though, as the Gunners look almost certain of playing Champions League football next term and will aim to strengthen their own squad in preparation. body check tags ::
