Manchester United are reportedly leading the race for Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic.
The 23-year-old made the move to the Old Lady from Fiorentina in January 2022, and he has represented the club on 46 occasions, scoring 19 goals and registering six assists in the process.
This season, Vlahovic has netted 10 goals and registered four assists in 25 appearances, with the Serbia international only managing eight Serie A strikes so far this season.
There is currently a host of speculation surrounding the forward's future in Turin, with Juve's financial problems potentially leading to him leaving in the upcoming market.
Juventus face a battle to qualify for next season's Champions League, currently sitting down in ninth position in the Serie A table, 12 points behind fourth-placed Roma.

The Old Lady would qualify for the 2023-24 Champions League if they won the Europa League this term, though, and they are currently 1-0 ahead against Freiburg after the first leg of their last-16 tie.
Vlahovic played 67 minutes of the clash with Freiburg on Thursday, with Federico Chiesa entering the field as his replacement in the second period.
Chelsea have recently been credited with an interest in the Serbian, who is believed to be keen to make the move to the Premier League during this summer's transfer window.
However, according to Calciomercato, Man United are currently at the head of the queue, with the Red Devils looking to sign a new centre-forward this summer.
The report claims that Bayern Munich are also firmly in the race, with the German champions looking to sign a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who left for Barcelona last summer.

Vlahovic's form for Fiorentina led to a host of interest in his services, with the striker netting 49 times and registering eight assists in 108 appearances for the Italian outfit.
Arsenal allegedly made an attempt to sign him last January but missed out to Juventus, but the forward could now potentially be heading for the Premier League this summer.
Vlahovic's future could be related to what happens with Harry Kane this summer, as both Man United and Bayern are said to be keen on the Tottenham Hotspur striker.
Should Spurs manage to keep hold of the England captain, Man United, Bayern and Chelsea could battle for the signature of Vlahovic in the upcoming market.
Erik ten Hag's side, who were held to a goalless draw by Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, are also said to be keen on Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha.
