Dusan Vlahovic and More: Three Juventus players Barcelona want in the Summer

An Italian football court deducted 15 points from Juventus’ point tally for the 2022-23 Serie A season for alleged wrongdoing in transfer dealings last month.

The Old Lady were in third place in Serie A with 37 points before the penalty but after the points deduction, they slipped to 10th place.

Things have gone further downhill for Massimiliano Allegri’s side since then as they currently find themselves in 13th place in Serie A, a whopping 15 points off fourth-placed Lazio. The Turin giants are in danger of losing several of their star players at the end of the season as they look destined to finish outside Champions League spots. Barcelona are one of the many clubs looking to capitalize on the situation as they are thought to be eyeing moves for three Juventus stars.

Here, we will take a look at the three Juventus players Barcelona are monitoring for the summer.

Manuel Locatelli:

Manuel Locatelli is one of the biggest stars at the Juventus Stadium right now and is quite naturally being tipped for a high-profile exit. The 25-year-old joined the Old Lady from Sassuolo in an initial two-year loan, with Juventus holding an obligation to then purchase the player for €25 million. However, the tenacious midfielder is thought to be attracting interest from Barcelona who are looking for a long-term replacement for Sergio Busquets.

Dusan Vlahovic:

Dusan Vlahovic joined Juventus last year in January in a deal worth €70 million, plus €10 million in performance-related bonuses. The Serbia international has done a pretty decent job at the Juventus Stadium having scored 16 goals in 36 games so far. His talent remains however undisputed and a number of top clubs including Barcelona are all monitoring his situation at Juventus.

Federico Chiesa:

Federico Chiesa is arguably the biggest star at both Juventus and Italy right now and has quite naturally been linked with an exit from the club. The 25-year-old has missed the majority of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament rupture and has made his comeback from injury lately. Barcelona are thought to be huge admirers of the versatile winger but could face strong competition for his signature.
