What Tottenham must do to persuade Dusan Vlahovic to make the move in January

A fresh report from Italy has offered new insight into Dusan Vlahovic’s future and the major step Tottenham must take if they want to sign the Juventus forward in January.

Over the past couple of months, no player has been more strongly linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium than the Serbian striker.

Multiple Italian sources have identified Spurs as the most probable destination for Vlahovic in the winter window, with some even claiming that the Premier League side could secure his services for around £13 million.

However, journalist Dean Jones recently warned that Juventus’ managerial change could complicate any potential transfer — and now a respected Italian outlet has shared further updates on the situation.

Juventus’ main concern as Tottenham circle Vlahovic
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the arrival of Luciano Spalletti at the Allianz Stadium has sparked optimism within the club that Vlahovic might remain in Turin.

The 25-year-old started in Juventus’ recent Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon, where he found the net, and he also impressed in their Serie A clash with Cremonese last weekend.

Despite his good form, the report highlights that Juve’s biggest issue with the striker remains financial. Vlahovic is earning a hefty €12 million (£10.5 million) per year, a figure that continues to strain the club’s wage budget.

What Tottenham must do to persuade Vlahovic to join
Gazzetta notes that Spurs are not the only club interested, with Bayern Munich and Barcelona also monitoring the player’s situation closely.

Ultimately, Vlahovic’s future could hinge on how his relationship with Spalletti develops over the coming months.

The report adds that Tottenham might need to present a salary package even higher than what he currently earns at Juventus to tempt the forward into making the switch to North London rather than signing a new deal with the Italian side.
