The winter transfer window in January is just around the corner, with foreign media reporting that Newcastle clubs are close to winning Serie A Fiorentina centre-forward Vlahovic for 100 million euros.
Newcastle's willingness to offer huge offers has made it difficult for Fiorentina to refuse. But it's unclear what the player Vlahović's attitude is.
Because in addition to Newcastle clubs, there are also competitive clubs in the Premier League, such as Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester United, and there is a lot of interest in this player. These clubs, especially Manchester City, are much stronger than Newcastle at the moment.
Vlahovic's intention is to join a club that can play in the Champions League.
In addition, Juventus in Serie A also has Vlahović, according to past experience, if Vlahović joins the Bianconeri, it is easier to win honors. However, Juventus have a hard time competing with the Premier League giants. Recent reports suggest that Juve are recruiting reinforcements on the offensive end and are considering Paris Saint-Germain's Icardi and Manchester United's Martial.
Since the start of the season, Newcastle have won just one game after 16 rounds, ranking second from the bottom in the Premier League.
Vlahović has made 19 appearances for Fiorentina so far this season, scoring a staggering 17 goals.
In addition, the 21-year-old Serbia international made 14 appearances for his national team, scoring seven goals.
Despite Newcastle's poor record today, if they can show Vlahovic a convincing plan and good treatment, Then Newcastle is still a strong contender for this player.
If Newcastle can sign the young Vlahovic, it will be a strong signal that will not only benefit relegation this season but will also lay the foundation for the club's future.
Vlahović's contract with Fiorentina expires in the summer of 2023. The player has refused to renew his contract with the current team. Therefore, It is wise for Florence to sell it at a high price in this winter window.
Newcastle offered a hundred million euros, from the perspective of the Fiorentina club, they will definitely be impressed, what else to do with the bike?
The willingness of the players today is the key to whether this transfer deal can be achieved, depending on how Newcastle shows their strength to Vlahovic.
