Sesko in trouble as Man Utd striker target makes transfer decision
Manchester United target Dusan Vlahovic has reportedly decided to leave Juventus on a free transfer at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.
The Serbia international is into the final year of his current deal in Turin and he has now opted against signing a contract extension in favour of leaving the club next summer.
That is according to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, who has confirmed that Vlahovic is “ready” to leave Juventus in 2026.
The 25-year-old has enjoyed an excellent start to the new season, scoring four goals and providing one assist in six matches across all competitions, however he is reportedly eager for a new adventure.
Vlahovic has been heavily linked with a number of top European clubs throughout his spell at Juventus, although a Premier League switch is his most likely next step amid reported interest from several English top flight teams.
Dusan Vlahovic to Man Utd?
Manchester United were among the clubs who registered interest in Vlahovic this summer and they have been tipped to rekindle their pursuit of his signature on a Bosman deal in 2026.
Ruben Amorim’s side finalised a deal for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko in August, however he has struggled to adapt to life at Old Trafford since his arrival and he has only notched one goal in seven Man Utd appearances.
Signing a more experienced centre forward to ease the burden on Sesko’s shoulders has therefore been touted as a sensible solution and with Vlahovic set to be available on a free transfer next summer, Man Utd are likely to be involved in the race for his signature.
The 25-year-old has scored 62 goals in 151 appearances for Juventus, following his move from Fiorentina for €83.5 million in January 2022, and Italian media have confirmed that he is likely to join a Premier League club next year.
