      Man Utd and Arsenal in Dusan Vlahovic transfer boost as Juventus ‘prepare for life without’ Serbia striker

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and Arsenal have reportedly received a huge boost in their pursuit to sign Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic.SunSport revealed last month that Erik ten Hag has made Tottenham star Harry Kane his No1 transfer target this summer.

      Kane, 29, has less than 18 months remaining on his deal and United are hoping to take advantage of the England captain’s contract situation.
      But as we stated previously, they are still anticipating a “nightmare” pursuit as Spurs chief Daniel Levy is renowned as a tough negotiator.
      That has led to Ten Hag identifying striking alternatives, and Vlahovic is among his top picks.
      Now he has received a boost as La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Juventus are “preparing for life without” the forward.

      And it also states that they have identified potential replacements for him.
      Juve are believed to be plotting moves for either West Ham’s Gianluca Scamacca, who has struggled in the Premier league, and Galatasaray’s Nicolo Zaniolo.
      Vlahovic, 23, joined Juventus from Fiorentina back in January 2022 after snubbing the chance to move to the Premier League with Arsenal.
      Mikel Arteta’s side were desperate to bring the Serbian international to the Emirates – but he rejected them in favour of Turin – but they are still keen.

      Vlahovic has scored eleven goals this term but has struggled for goals over recent weeks for his club.
      He has just one in his last eight appearances.
      And, after Juve’s early Champions League exit left them needing to raise funds, he could find himself as one of their stars to be sacrificed once the transfer window re-opens this summer. More

      And Portuguese superstar Ramos, who was the first player to score a hat-trick at last year’s World Cup, has emerged as a top target.
      According to Portuguese outlet Record, Man Utd want to sign the 21-year-old.
      Ramos has scored 24 goals in 36 appearances for Benfica so far this season.
      However, he is understood to be disappointed that club chiefs have not yet rewarded him for his efforts with a new and improved contract.

      Last summer, Benfica president Rui Costa reportedly promised the striker a salary increase which is yet to materialise.
      Ramos still has over three years remaining on his deal, which expires in June 2026, but he is growing increasingly frustrated with his current situation.
      If he does decide to leave Lisbon in the summer, any potential suitors would have to trigger his huge £105.6million release clause.
      Man Utd have already been informed that they will have to pay over £100m for top target Harry Kane.

      However, Greenwood’s career hit the skids in January 2022 when he was arrested after a woman made allegations against him.
      He was charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.
      He appeared before magistrates and was told he would face trial later this year.
      But in February the Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges after several alleged witnesses refused to co-operate.

      United, who had suspended him on full pay, announced they would hold an internal investigation into the circumstances around his arrest.
      The Sun revealed he has spoken to manager Erik ten Hag and met with club officials — but his future at the club remains unclear.
      Now The Athletic are claiming that several teams from Turkey have contacted the Red Devils regarding a transfer move for the one-capped England international.
      But the club has turned down all approaches.

      It is also reported in this update that the still suspended forward would “run through a brick wall to be back playing for United now”. 
      Greenwood’s last appearance for the club was on January 22, 2022, when they beat West Ham 1-0 at Old Trafford.
      United released a short statement when the CPS dropped charges against the £70,000-a-week player, who is under contract until 2025, that read: “Manchester United notes the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped.
      “The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps. We will not make any further comment until that process is complete.”
      Meanwhile, SunSport recently revealed plans for Greenwood to marry his pregnant partner in the summer. More

      Rice will enter the final 12 months of his contract this summer, but West Ham are still thought to be holding out for around £80million.

      They did bring in Jorginho in the January window, but are still thought to be looking for further reinforcements. More

      Kante, 31, is out of contract at the end of this season in just three months’ time.
      Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are both monitoring his situation in the hope of securing a free transfer, while Liverpool were also linked.
      However, they are all expected to be left disappointed with Fabrizio Romano stating Kante is close to putting pen to paper on an extension at Stamford Bridge.
      SunSport understands that the deal will likely run until 2025 – with Chelsea having the option to trigger an additional 12 months.

      The Frenchman enjoys life in London so has been keen to stay put having made 262 appearances since joining from Premier League champions Leicester in 2016.
      The negotiations have rumbled on despite Kante not featuring since August due to a hamstring injury that also ruled him out of the World Cup.
      It means he is yet to play under manager Graham Potter, who took over in September.
      Potter said this month: “Managers before me have spoken very highly of N’Golo because he’s a top, top player.

      “He’s been a huge miss for us. Great for us for him to be back. We have to be mindful.
      “We have to take the steps to get him back up to speed.”
      Kante returned to training earlier in March and was an unused sub against Everton before turning out in a behind-closed-doors 3-0 friendly win against Charlton on Friday.
      Mason Mount – who withdrew from the England squad as he regains fitness – and Thiago Silva cheered on Kante at the Cobham training ground.
      Fellow midfielder Mount even wore a ‘Kante 7’ home Chelsea shirt backwards to show his support.
      The struggling Blues will be back in action a week on Saturday, welcoming Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge, before facing Liverpool and Real Madrid either side of a trip to Wolves. More

      As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the Blues are closing in on securing a contract for Matos.

      But supporters are convinced he will fall into the trap of plenty of other Chelsea youth stars over the years.
      One said: “Why are these kids joining Chelsea, zero pathway, just stocking piling talent. At this point will they even get consistent game time at youth-team level?”
      Another wrote: “Why do kids sign for Chelsea. No chance ever of progressing. Out on loans to Darlington in 6 months. One day kids will learn.”
      And a third added: “Suspect we will never hear from him again. So sad these young lads’ heads are turned.”

      Matos started out at Luton before switching to Norwich at U12s level.
      He has progressed through the ranks, featuring for the U18s as a schoolboy and signing a scholarship at Carrow Road in 2021.
      This season, he has racked up an impressive three assists in 13 appearances for the Canaries in the Premier League 2.
      At international level, he has appeared for England U15s.
      Matos would link up with Jimmy-Jay Morgan in the Chelsea academy.
      The striker turned down the advances of Manchester City and Arsenal to join Chelsea from Southampton for £6million in February.
      Within weeks of joining the Blues, though, Morgan flew out to Los Angeles to have surgery on a knee problem found during his medical.

      But Balogun is not closing the door to a potential exit and would be open to moving back to Reims.
      When asked about his future in an interview with Ligue Un he said: “Contractually I have to go back because the loan was only for one year so that was always the agreement.

      “A lot could happen in football, a lot could change, and it just depends on the conversations we have between me and the club in the summer, and we’ll see what happens.
      “I mean there’s no door that’s closed. Of course I have had a good year here and to a lot of people it makes sense for me to come back here. So yeah I mean I don’t know what the future will bring.”
      Balogun also needs to decide his international future after being left out of the England squad.
      He appeared to be frustrated by his omission and posted a message hinting at a potential switch to the USA saying: “In life go where you are appreciated.”

      “It’s been good, because it’s been an opportunity for us just to share about our program and who we are and what we do.
      “And look, that’s it, I hope we get the chance to speak to him again. So it’s been good to meet him, and I know a few of the guys who have spoke to him as well.” More
