Dusan Vlahovic will basically finish the season at Fiorentina, reports the very well-introduced Gianluca Di Marzio. La Viola finds the offers received for the 21-year-old center striker insufficient and has made the decision to keep the Serb. Vlahovic himself also prefers to play with Fiorentina until the summer and then look further, adds Sky Italy to.
Arsenal have been very strongly associated with Vlahovic this month. The Gunners want to say goodbye to Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and are therefore looking for a number nine. Previously, mainly English media assumed that the transfer fee for the very interested Arsenal would not be a problem. This usually referred to an asking price of seventy million euros, which the gunners would be coughing. The Independent recently reported that Arsenal were even willing to go up to ninety million euros.
There’s the man of the moment! ?? Vlahovic finishes this off great, but Bonaventura’s pass is also of great class ?? Number 17 and perhaps last of the season for the coveted striker in the shirt of Fiorentina?#ZiggoSport #SeriesA #FiorentinaSpezia pic.twitter.com/ppCIV0XMD3

Di Marzio himself does not provide details about amounts in his reporting, but only says that the asking price of Fiorentina has not been met. Vlahovic again made a big impression on Monday evening by finishing coolly against Genoa (6-0 win) after a fantastic assumption. The striker caused some confusion by then apologizing to the crowd for a missed penalty just before. Arsenal fans massively explained that on Twitter as a farewell greeting, but it wasn’t. Vlahovic has no problems with the season at la Viola and wants to help the club with a Champions League ticket. Fiorentina still has two places to climb, because the club from Florence is now sixth in Serie A. The gap to number four Atalanta is seven points.
Vlahovic wants to be active in the Champions League next season anyway. Arsenal have failed to qualify in the last four years, but are taking part very seriously in the Premier League this season. An advantage for Vlahovic is that he can now wait for the denouement of the season and only make his choice after all group stage tickets have been distributed. The Serb is committed until mid-2023 and Fiorentina is doing everything possible to prevent a transfer-free departure. A summer transfer is therefore very likely. Vlahovic’s agent is also demanding a commission of ten million euros, Di Marzio finally adds.
