Everton have now been approached over Dusan Vlahovic’s situation at Juventus ahead of the summer window.

David Moyes witnessed a turbulent campaign from his two Everton strikers in Thierno Barry and Beto.

Improvement is certainly going to be needed over the summer, with Everton keen to add another striker to their squad.

If you were Angus Kinnear who would you be going all out for this summer? 💰

Everton approached over Dusan Vlahovic’s future

Vlahovic is set to leave Juventus over the coming weeks and become a free agent following failed contract negotiations.

The Blues will not be alone in their possible pursuit of the 26-year-old striker, though.

Team Talk suggest that Everton are one of many Premier League clubs to have been approached by intermediaries working to find a landing spot for their client.

Rank these striker options from best to worst… 😬

There's going to be some different opinions on this! 🫣

As well as Everton, the following clubs were named in the report:

• Chelsea
• Manchester United
• Tottenham Hotspur
• Newcastle United
• Aston Villa

Everton have monitored Vlahovic over a number of years, with this potentially the perfect opportunity to strike.

However, there is one significant issue for clubs like Everton, given Vlahovic has made considerable salary demands at Juventus.

Although Everton have shown they are capable of splashing the cash, with players like Jack Grealish, the striker is a player who would require a big financial investment.

Vlahovic netted 10 goals this season across all competitions for Juve, but his salary demands will likely put a number of clubs off signing him.

Back in 2022, FK Partizan’s sporting director Ivica Iliev told The Mirror that, actually, Vlahovic was set to become even better than Erling Haaland.

“I always watch him and think [he’s like] Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, maybe now in this moment Haaland is stronger physically but believe me, technically Vlahovic is the better player.

He may not have quite lived up to this potential, but this does go to show just how highly some think of the striker.
