Barca identify Vlahovic as alternative to Haaland (reliability: 4 stars)

Erling Haaland remains Barcelona's no.1 target to reinforce the striker position next summer, Gerard Romero reports.

However, in case the Catalans fail to land the Norwegian, they have identified Dusan Vlahovic as the first alternative, the source claims.

Vlahovic currently plays for Fiorentina, as his contract with the Italian teams runs until 2023. Thus, he might be available at cut-price next summer, with Transfermarkt currently valuing him at €50m.

Last season, the Serb recorded 21 goals in 40 appearances for the Violets. This term, he's already got six goals and one assist in eight appearances.
