Barcelona seek a striker and Vlahovic offers himself with an economic sacrifice
Barcelona, La Liga champions with 94 points in the 2025 season (31 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses), continue their search for a new striker to replace Robert Lewandowski. After ruling out options like Julián Álvarez and Eli Junior Kroupi, the Catalan club could consider Dusan Vlahovic, who is willing to lower his salary demands to join Barça.
Why is Vlahovic an option for Barcelona?
The Serbian striker, 26, is a free agent after his Juventus contract expired. According to journalist Gerard Romero, Vlahovic is willing to make an economic sacrifice to join Barcelona, even accepting a lower salary than what he demands in other destinations, such as Turkey. This shows his interest in wearing the culé jersey.
What advantages would Vlahovic bring to the team?
Vlahovic would bring experience and goals to a Barcelona side that scored 95 goals last season. His physical presence and goal-scoring instinct could be key for Hansi Flick's team, especially at a time when the club is looking for low-cost alternatives with guarantees.
What will happen with the signing?
Although Vlahovic is willing to lower his salary, Barcelona has not yet made a final decision. The club continues to explore other options, but if they fail to close with their main targets, the Serbian could be a viable solution. Their next match will be against Villarreal (3rd in the table) on February 14, 2027.
