Man City, Spurs 'facing competition for Dusan Vlahovic from Italian clubs'

Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been joined by Italian clubs in the race for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.

The 21-year-old is under contract with La Viola until the summer of 2023, but club president Rocco Commisso recently admitted that he could not promise that Vlahovic would sign a new deal.

City and Spurs were frustrated in their pursuits of Vlahovic in the most recent transfer window, but the two Premier League sides could supposedly reignite their respective pursuits in the summer of 2022.

However, Tuttosport claims that Juventus and AC Milan - who were also rebuffed by Fiorentina last month - are preparing to rival their English counterparts for Vlahovic's signature next summer.

The report adds that both Serie A outfits refused to stump up Fiorentina's €40m (£34m) asking price in the summer, and the Serbia international's price will only go up following his 21-goal haul last season.

Vlahovic has also started the 2021-22 season in impressive fashion, banking three goals from his opening four Serie A matches.
