Newcastle United are prepared to pay €100m for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic, claim RAI Sport, but the Serbian wants a Champions League club.
The centre-forward has rejected a new contract in Florence and his current deal is due to expire in June 2023, so a sale in January or next summer seems certain.
His preferred option would be Juventus, but the Bianconeri simply cannot afford a transfer like this at the current time, while the Viola are also not on good terms with their age-old rivals.
According to RAI Sport journalist Filippo Grassia, Newcastle United have approached Fiorentina with an offer of up to €100m for Vlahovic.
However, the striker has already shown he is ready to snub Arsenal because they lack prospects of winning silverware or competing in the Champions League.
Newcastle, although funded by new owners Saudi owners PIF, would present a similar problem and therefore are of no interest to Vlahovic.
Manchester City, Manchester United and Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are also in the running.

Vlahovic, see out your contract and join Juve for free.
Ya wait for Juventus. Your dreams of lifting important trophies (Coppa Italia and Trofeo TIM) will be fulfilled.
Yeah, see out your contract and then join a club that won’t be in the CL next year… sure… almost as much of a joke as going to Newcastle.
Don’t be salty because he doesn’t even consider your teams. Know your place.
After the 400 mil capital increase, Juve will be able to spend a lot more than these jokers assume.
So Arsenal have no chance of silverware but SPuRS do. Please please please will this site just cop on to reality. Or am I missing something
Vlahovic wants a Champions League club or juBentus? He needs to decide, can`t have both!
@Zambrotta. Then will you stop crying about a “Superleague”? If you need a superleague who can you just get a capital increase? Folks, this is why these clubs are destroying football. Instead of operating within the financial parameters of business, i.e. working within the limits of revenue and cash flow, like all other companies on the planet, they continue to get bailed out by banks, billionaires, etc. Clubs that are 100s of millions in debt should not get further credit, and if they can’t fix their situation then they will have to go bankrupt. Football is full of double standards and this is a major one. No problem of Parma go bankrupt, but god forbid if mighty Juventus (or Madrid , or Barcelona, etc.) get a lesson in finance and business management. Stop throwing good money after bad. Let a few big clubs restart from the bottom and you will see how the world of football gets its act together right quick. The Superleague won’t bring fairness to football, just more money to clubs who will continue to spend multiples of whatever that new league brings them. What will fix football is fair lending standards. Just like a bank wouldn’t lend you a dime if your in debt and have negative cash flow, football clubs should get their credit lines shut for the same reason. Live within your means or fail. Period.
Don’t be deceived wait for Juve ….and shine
Banks love giving money to in debt organizations. So much for your “expertise” in finance. Juve have assets in the event they go bankrupt while the average person has nothing. Juve have collateral while the average person may have a $4,000 car. Look no further than Milan’s debacle a couple of years ago. Asset Management took over, balanced the books and sold for a profit.
@I MISS JUVENTUS IN SERIE B: if anyone wants to win a Champions League they they definetely should never join Inter – they only play a Champions League final once every 50 years !
@Vero Rossonero. Firstly, I never cried about a Super League. And what are you talking about? Your Rossoneri has been racking in bigger debts and losses for ten years than Real, Barca and Juve combined. And Inter is virtually bankrupt too.
@Vero Rossonero: Fair lending standards? LOL ….. like that would apply to PSG or Man City !! it’s simple….If you make $60 an hour you can get approved for 3x more mortgage than the guy making $20 per hour…..if you want to spend more money you need to make more money. If your revenues are the same as 15 years ago like AC milan what do you expect financially ? obviously you are going to be handcuffed.
Rubentus are circa 400m in DEBT that has to be repaid this is fact, Rubentus are forecast to be in debt until at least 2026 and have liabilities totalling 900m this is a fact, they just did a capital increase in order to avoid going bankrupt, that money they got from exor has to be used to pay wages and club running costs, its not for buying new players, this also diluted the value of anyone’s shares they had in rubentus making the club less attractive financially and their share price is at an all time low and lets not start about the investigations going on with them. (your club aint buying)
Inter have circa 600m DEBT and 350m has to be repaid by oct 2022 this is fact. (get ready for more player sales)
AC MILAN has ZERO debt, they owe no one anything this is a FACT. (because the people who they did owe took the club)
I think he already decided who he wants to play force. Juve
@1MIKEJ Hahahaha I like what you are smoking 😀 So the losses Milan are recording are to themselves or what? LOL. Also, it’s okay to have debts. Every company and country and household has debts.
You see the thing is, Rubentus are a PUBLICLY LISTED COMPANY the FACTS are right there for anyone to see, I don’t need to bs anyone when it is right there on the wall street journal or any other stock market site, unless your club can pull half a billion out of its ass you are in debt until 2026 at minimum. Milan‘s losses are covered by the club owners they are not borrowing from anyone, do you understand? Rubentus and inter losses are covered by bond issues and long term loans that all have to be paid back plus interest, both your clubs are broke, one is getting taken over in 11 months by oaktree unless Suning sell all their decent players and the other is getting relegated and people in charge are getting arrested (if there is any justice). If Vlahovic has any intelligence at all he would go to AC Milan.
@I Miss Marco. What does that have to do with how it should be? You’re just repeating what’s wrong with it. This is a broken record. We all know how it is. So what do people want? You complain about the system, but when someone offers a solution you insult them because “it’s how it is”. Ok then, be quiet and don’t complain. Better yet, forget football. Just don’t watch, since it’s your dollars/euros/[insert currency] that fuel the sport. Revenues are the same for Milan and pretty much all of Serie A because it’s in Italy. A country where getting a new stadium is more difficult than finding the holy grail. ADL is right, the stadiums ARE toilets. Further, Italy is not as easy to do business as England is, which is more closely modeled on the wide open U.S.A., where ease of doing business is a way of life. Finally, Italy did not have the built in “advantage” of having colonized 1/5 of the globe. Much of that part of the world, or anglophone countries if you will, have an affinity for British things, for London, etc. Rupert Murdoch figured that out. That’s why he dropped that first massive 1 BILLION euro TV deal back in the early 2000s on the EPL, not La Liga or Serie A, which were arguable still more highly rated then.
@Zambrotta, club debts are published annually by Deloitte. Go read it. Milan at ~-148.5m, 30th most.
@1mikej
Go boil an egg, it will take much longer than BBilan was in Champions League this season;)
1MIKEJ@
The club are in debt even if they owe their owners money.
It’s not miraculous become debt free just because a club or a company lends money from someone whom owns the club/company.
AC Milan were owned by the Chinese yes? The chinese part financed the purchase of AC Milan by taking a loan from Elliot asset management yes? They failed to repay that loan in time so Elliot asset management took ownership of AC Milan as repayment for that loan. Now Elliot asset management owns AC Milan, they have no bank loans or bonds issued to the club AC Milan and no private loans either this is a FACT the only debt if you want to call it is the purchase of casa Milan headquarters for 45m but that is a bankable asset. The loss of 94m that AC Milan has for 2020/2021 is covered by Elliot asset management because they know when they finally sell AC Milan it will be factored into the sales price therefore no debt. @vero rossenero you are looking at club revenue generated for 2019/2020 season that’s the only thing is see with those figures mentioned but it’s all irrelevant, the facts are inter and rube are in massive debt compared to AC Milan but hey keep believing what you want
Talk about champions leagues when you have more than 7 yh
@1MIKEJ You’re truly nuts if you believe your own statements. Do you really think Elliot has 94 million lying abound in a drawer every year to cover Milan‘s debts? Of course, the money is loaned somewhere! How naive are you, really?
And you might want to look up the difference between loaning money/debts and a capital increase. But I guess leaving school at fourteen has it’s disadvantages. No go run along and claim the earth is flat and spout some conspiracy theories about covid and such.
@ zambrotta, we are talking about juve debts here, do you know what a bond issue is? juve have taken 2 this year, 1st one to cover the 1st quarter losses by your club, 2nd one was to pay for the 1st one and cover the losses of the 2nd quarter, guess what happened after that, the investigation crap started, so now they cant get another bond issued because they are a toxic asset, for the 3rd quarter what did they do? they created a billion new shares for the club that were bought by the club owners exor (your capital increase lol) and 8% that’s left will be sold on the stock market (0.38 a share lol) this diluted the value of the club and makes them less attractive financially these are clear facts that are stated on all stock marked analysis sites, the thing with you deluded rubentus fans is this is not fifa or football manager you cant just reset the game when you dont like whats happening, shouting la la la you dumb does not change it either, you can call me whatever you want it wont change the facts
“Issuing bonds is one way for companies to raise money. A bond functions as a loan between an investor and a corporation. The investor agrees to give the corporation a certain amount of money for a specific period of time. In exchange, the investor receives periodic interest payments. When the bond reaches its maturity date, the company repays the investor”.
In case your not sure what a bond is.
you pay the interest on the bond normally quarterly (like Juve have been doing) then at the agreed expiration date you pay the rest, which they still have to do.
done trying to explain basic finance to you children, peace out.
@1Mikej, I think we’re on the same side here. I was listing Milan‘s debt per Deloitte as of April 2021. When Elliot acquired they may have been debt free, but they’ve been operating the club for 3 years now, so unless they’re turning a profit they must be incurring losses, therefore a debt. I doubt Elliott is injecting fresh funds every year to keep the balance at 0. What needs to be looked at is CASH FLOW. You can have a 500m debt, but if you have a positive cash flow of 100m per year you can say that this debt can be clear in 5 years, for example. So it’s about whether the debt is increasing, flat or decreasing. For most clubs it’s constantly increasing. So this goes back to what some people in here have cited as everyone being in debt. Yes, companies and people are all in debt, but those loans are being serviced, through income. Buy a house with a mortgage. You’re in debt. But you have a job, so your income is slowly paying the debt off. This is called creditworthiness. Companies the same. They get loans based off of projected earnings (they are business and can project forward earnings based on past earnings, and a few other thins). Clubs fall into this category, EXCEPT that their assets (players) are fundamentally depreciate. This is why so many clubs sell their home grown players. It’s pure profit, but it’s obvious this is a short term solution. Again, the point is that football clubs spend way more than they make and the debts have been growing worse. This phenomenon is only really of the past 20 years, which is why we really haven’t seen a lot of bankruptcies, but now we’re seeing the strains with Covid which has accelerated talk of a Super League.
