Newcastle Contacted to Sign £368,000-a-Week Striker in Bargain £26m Deal

Newcastle United have been contacted by Juventus over the possibility of signing Dusan Vlahovic this summer as a replacement for Liverpool target Alexander Isak, according to GIVEMESPORT correspondent Ben Jacobs.

Adding a new centre-forward is likely to be a major priority for the Magpies, with speculation continuing to surround the future of Isak. The Swedish striker was once again left out of Newcastle’s squad on Monday night as they suffered a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool, with Eddie Howe not naming a natural centre-forward in the starting XI.

Anthony Gordon lined up through the middle of attack, and the England international was sent off for a silly tackle. In more positive news, William Osula came off the bench to equalise late on before Liverpool scored a winner, showing that he could still be an option in attack for the Magpies this season.

Reporting on X, Jacobs has confirmed that Newcastle have been offered the chance to sign Juventus striker Vlahovic, with the Italian club raising the Serbian striker as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, who is a target for Liverpool.

As it stands, Newcastle aren’t planning on proceeding with a move to sign Vlahovic, who reportedly earns £368,000-a-week at Juventus. It could be a bit of a bargain option for Newcastle, considering he joined Juventus for a fee of around £67m just over three years ago.

It’s not quite worked out for Vlahovic in recent years, and it might be a bit of a risk for Newcastle, considering his high wages.
