Real Madrid conceive of Vlahovic loan from Juventus

Real Madrid are reported to be looking at Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in a deal that would be on loan for €15-20m, plus an option to buy.

The Merengues need a replacement for Karim Benzema, who is one of several players that have made the move to Saudi Arabia, in his case Al-Ittihad.

Their primary targets are all well over €100m, including Tottenham striker Harry Kane, PSG forward Kylian Mbappé and Napoli Capocannoniere Victor Osimhen. According to Cadena Ser and Calciomercato.com suggest an interesting formula for the transfer could suit both Juventus and Real Madrid for Vlahovic.

It would be a loan at a huge fee, in the region of €15-20m, with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season. The Serbia international’s overall price tag is close to €90m, especially as Juve paid €81.6m plus up to another €10m in bonuses to get him from Fiorentina in January 2022.

Vlahovic is still only 23 years of age and scored 14 goals with four assists in 42 competitive games this season, but has been visibly frustrated by Max Allegri’s coaching methods and the relative lack of scoring opportunities he receives at Juventus.
