According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are keen on making a move to sign Sevilla forward Youssef En-Nesyri if Dusan Vlahovic departs the Allianz Stadium this summer. 

Vlahovic has interest from a couple of top teams in Europe, namely Chelsea and Bayern Munich, but La Gazzetta reports that Juve are not willing to make too many generous discounts on their asking price. 

The Serbian arrived in Turin for around €80m in January 2022, but after a disappointing season in 2022-23, his long-term future with the Old Lady is far from guaranteed. 

In the event that Vlahovic does move on this summer, En-Nesyri is one who is emerging as an interesting possibility for Juve. 

The 26-year-olds height, physicality, ability in front of goal as well as his tactical flexibility are said to be the standout characteristics that make him such an enticing option. 

The Morocco international has two years remaining on his current contract with Sevilla, but La Gazzetta believes that due to Sevilla’s financial struggles, En-Nesyri could be available for a cut-down price, thought to be around €30m. 

Juventus supporters will be familiar with En-Nesyri’s goalscoring prowess, having found the net at the Allianz Stadium in the first leg of this season’s  Europa League semi-final, on Sevilla’s way to lifting the trophy at the end of May. 

Over the course of the season, En-Nesyri chipped in with 18 goals and two assists across all competitions, including four from nine in Europe.
