Newcastle United are expected to strengthen their attacking options during the summer transfer window.
Much of the recent attention has focused on potential exits. Sandro Tonali continues attracting strong interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal have also been linked with a move for Bruno Guimaraes. However, Newcastle have shown they remain prepared to invest in new signings.
The club previously pursued Victor Munoz before the winger opted to join Liverpool, suggesting funds are still available for Eddie Howe to strengthen his squad.
According to TuttoJuve, Newcastle United have accelerated their pursuit of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. They are now ahead of Chelsea in the race for his signature.
The report claims Newcastle have intensified discussions with Vlahovic’s representatives, with talks described as encouraging.
The Magpies are now looking to make a decisive move as they attempt to secure the Serbia international.
Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in the 26-year-old. However, Newcastle are believed to have moved in front of the Blues after increasing their efforts to reach an agreement.
Newcastle appear determined to position themselves strongly before formal negotiations progress further.
Strengthening the attack has become an important priority after Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa struggled to justify their transfer fees during the previous campaign.
Eddie Howe is keen to find a more reliable solution in the final third. Vlahovic would certainly bring proven quality to St James’ Park.
The Serbian has scored 94 goals and provided 18 assists in 221 Serie A appearances, while also netting 16 times in 41 matches for his national team.
Newcastle will naturally hope Vlahovic adapts more successfully than compatriot Aleksandar Mitrovic did during his time at the club.
