Report: Liverpool make offer to sign £375,000-a-week striker after Isak injury, he wants to join…

Report: Liverpool has made a proposal to acquire £375,000-a-week striker following Isak’s injury, who is eager to join.

Liverpool has submitted an offer to sign Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic in January after Alexander Isak’s leg injury, as reported by Fichajes.

The Reds faced a significant setback during their 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur when Isak sustained a broken lower leg while scoring the opening goal, and he is now expected to be sidelined for most of the remainder of the season.

This situation has prompted Arne Slot’s team to take action in the transfer market once again, according to reports from Spain, and the club has now presented an offer to secure a replacement before the new year.

Liverpool Proposes to Acquire Dusan Vlahovic

Vlahovic, who earns £377,000-a-week in Turin before bonuses, is in the final year of his contract with the Italian club and has been associated with a transfer away for several transfer windows as they aim to alleviate his wage burden.

Now, Liverpool has provided him with an opportunity to transition to the Premier League by making a €20m offer (£17.4m) for the Serbian international. Juventus is quite willing to sell him and has no plans to extend his contract, while the report indicates that Liverpool is also amenable to his wage expectations of over €12m net per season (£400,000-a-week).

The player is very receptive to a move to the Premier League, as he is eager for a new challenge and a change of environment. It remains uncertain what Juventus’ asking price for the striker is at this moment, but their predicament of having to accept a lower fee or risk losing the player for free in the summer means they are seriously contemplating it.

It is believed that the player is closer than ever to departing, and Liverpool is prepared to finally fulfill his Premier League aspirations.

Is Vlahovic Essential at Anfield?

Although Isak is likely to be absent for the majority of the Premier League season now, it appears quite improbable that another high-profile signing is required at this point as a temporary replacement.

Hugo Ekitike has demonstrated that he is more than capable of leading the attack at Anfield this season, while players like Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and Federico Chiesa are also adept at playing in central roles.

Rather than acquiring another number nine with a hefty salary who will demand regular playing time, Liverpool would be wiser to focus on resolving their issues with wingers and place their trust in Ekitike, especially given his performance since the beginning of the season.

Dusan Vlahovic’s recent performances have not been particularly impressive, and although the transfer fee may be low, the salary demands would be exorbitant, making it seem like a significant error in judgment.
