Fiorentina President Rocco Commisso insists ‘there are clubs interested in Dusan Vlahovic, but I haven’t set a price-tag,’ amid reports of a bidding war between Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City.
The striker is currently negotiating a new contract, but talks have slowed after his agents put in several new proposals, including €8m in commission and full autonomy to negotiate his transfer next summer.
“I have not put Vlahovic up for sale, if anything we made an important contract renewal proposal,” Commisso told TGR RAI Toscana reporter Sara Meini.
“There are clubs interested in him, but I haven’t set a price-tag. I want him to stay for one more season.”
It is the same reporter who said yesterday that Manchester City had dived into negotiations with Fiorentina for Vlahovic.
This would make it a three-way bidding war with Tottenham Hotspur and current favourites Atletico Madrid, with the bids reportedly reaching €80m including bonuses.
Commisso commented yesterday he “would think about it” if someone offered €100m for 21-year-old Vlahovic.
The Serbia international scored 21 Serie A goals last season and was purchased from Partizan Belgrade in 2018 for just under €2m.
He has seven senior caps for Serbia, scoring two goals.
