Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic has been linked with several clubs in recent weeks, and it appears that Manchester City have joined the race to sign the Serbian as well.

According to the latest reports, the Premier League champions are keen on signing the 21-year-old forward, and they’re about to submit an offer of around €80 million.

Initially, the Premier League giants were linked to the move for Harry Kane, but Tottenham seem reluctant to sell the player this summer.

Vlahovic seems like an alternative to the England international.

It is no secret that Manchester City will have to sign a quality striker after the departure of Sergio Aguero, and Vlahovic could prove to be a superb long time investment for them.

The 21-year-old striker was one of the best players in the Italian league last season, and he managed to score 21 goals for Fiorentina.

He has the potential to succeed at the highest level, and move to Manchester City could help him in his development.

Working with a world-class manager like Pep Guardiola will help him improve.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid are keen on signing the player. There have been reports that the Spanish champions have agreed on a deal with Fiorentina for the Serbian forward.

Manchester City are undoubtedly more resourceful than Atletico Madrid. It will be interesting to see if they can fend off the competition from the La Liga giants and secure the player’s signature in the coming days.
