Fiorentina striker Vlahović is one of the most favoured players in the transfer market, and according to El Repubblica, Arsenal have offered £58m for the purchase, but have not met Fiorentina's expectations.
With aubameyang, Lacazette and Nkedia uncertain, Arsenal are looking to sign top centre-forwards in the winter window to improve the team's strength, with Vlahović in the first place.
The Repubblica revealed that Florence president Comiso was ready to release Vlahović, which meant a huge change in his attitude. Previously, Fiorentina had been hoping to renew his contract with Vlahović.
Vlahović signed to Fiorentina until June 2023, and in order to avoid him leaving the team for a lower value, the Purple Lily offered a five-year contract worth £34 million. However, Vlahović's agent,500,000 wanted a £6.6 million bonus and a 10% transfer fee in the future, angering Comiso.
Comiso said: "It is here that he became famous and whatever happens he should acknowledge the club that helped him get to where he is now. The longer I stayed here, the more I realized how bad the sport is. ”
Unable to renew his contract with Vlahović, Fiorentina decided to liquidate as soon as possible. Fiorentina are looking to get £63m, which means Arsenal will have to move up the offer. It is worth mentioning that Clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Juve are also interested in signing Vlahovic.
One thing that has been good for Arsenal is that they are willing to add Torreira, who is currently on loan to Fiorentina, to the deal in order to boost the offer. Currently, Torreira has become one of the core players in Fiorentina's midfield.
