  • Dusan Vlahovic is a potential transfer option for Paris Saint-Germain as he hopes to leave Juventus
  • The Serbian striker joined the Old Lady 18 months ago from Fiorentina but is now open to leaving
  • His transfer could lead to a domino effect of other moves, but things look difficult at this point

Dusan Vlahovic may have to reconsider his options, as his potential move to Paris Saint-Germain already has a complication in the form of the club ultras.

Vlahovic is open to leaving Juventus after only one-and-a-half seasons there, where he has struggled to replicate the form he had at Fiorentina.

Reported difficulties with manager, Massimiliano Allegri are said to be part of the reasons for him wanting to leave, with PSG seen as a potential destination for the Serbian striker.

He was linked with a move to Arsenal last summer but proved too expensive for the Gunners, with London rivals Chelsea also reportedly interested in the past.

PSG ultras threaten Vlahovic

According to Juve Canal, PSG ultras have sent a message to Vlahovic asking him to steer clear of a move to Paris or risk facing the consequences, as seen on a banner in front of Parc des Princes.

“You come to Paris, we cut your three fingers off!” the message on the banner reads.

According to Marca, it refers to a past incident when the striker was playing for Serbia and wore a shirt showing Kosovo's map as part of Ukraine, stretching three fingers to show Serbian victory.

According to Tuttomercato, the 23-year-old has agreed personal terms on a five-year contract worth €11 million per year, but Juventus' asking price of €80 million is holding up the deal. They plan to use proceeds from his sale to fund a move for Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.

Inter withdraw from Lukaku race

Sports Brief earlier reported that Inter Milan have withdrawn from the race to sign Romelu Lukaku permanently from Chelsea after the striker went incommunicado with them.

It was reported that the Premier League club accepted Inter's offer of €35 million plus €5 million in add-ons for the player, but the Belgian did not approve. News emerged that he has been speaking to rivals Juventus through his lawyers.
