Following the expiration of his contract with Juventus on June 30, Serbian striker Dušan Vlahović has become a highly sought-after free agent.

Initial interest focused on Real Madrid, where manager José Mourinho reportedly advocated for the signing of the physically dominant center-forward to bolster the attacking squad. Vlahović was linked to a salary of approximately €8 million per year.

As his free agency continues, interest has expanded to include Atletico Madrid, who may view him as a replacement for Alexander Sørloth. While Vlahović reportedly rejected an offer from Beşiktaş, he remains open to top-tier moves, with continued speculation regarding potential interest from Barcelona.
