Juventus' project under Massimiliano Allegri has been hit hard recently, with problems both on and off the pitch.
Those problems away from the turf could turn into a big issue, as one of the highest-rated players in the team could be forced to leave the club due to their financial struggles. The player in question is none other than Dusan Vlahovic, who is yet to show his best form with the bianconeri, and the club has reportedly agreed to let the player leave if a team comes up with the transfer fee demanded by the Serie A giants.
According to Calciomercato, the Italian side have already identified Chelse and Arsenal as potential suitors for the player's services. Chelsea's spending spree this winter could see Vlahovic adding depth to an injury-plagued team, while Arsenal's desire to sign Vlahovic has been reignited since the season-ending injury picked up by Gabriel Jesus.
Arsenal were one of the teams interested in Vlahovic's services back in the summer, but Juventus resisted the Gunners' attempts to hire him. Now, with the Serbian struggling with fitness issues, the bianconeri are seemingly ready to let the footballer leave. The main problem for this to happen has to do with his cost, as Juventus will only let him go if any of these teams come up with their $110M asking price.
Juventus' financial struggles could be close to ending if Vlahovic left them, and while the idea of paying over $100M for a player that has performed below expectations seems far-fetched, the fact that Juve are ready to part ways with the 22-year old seems to be a call to action by those interested. Only time will tell if Arsenal or Chelsea can negotiate to lure a talented player to their rosters.
