# Virals: Liverpool ‘increasingly interested’ in Dusan Vlahovic

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/09/virals-liverpool-named-on-three-club-shortlist-for-erling-haaland/) are reportedly becoming ‘increasingly interested’ in signing Fiorentina striker [Dusan Vlahovic](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/06/virals-liverpool-moving-for-fiorentina-striker-dusan-vlahovic/).

The 21-year-old contract rebel looks certain to move on from the Serie A club in the near future having [rejected new deals](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1445316056118136837) to remain in Florence.

The subject of [widespread interest](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-transfer-rumours-vlahovic-21591164) from Manchester United, Tottenham, Manchester City and Atlético Madrid, the Reds are unlikely to get a free run at the Serbian ace.

However, according to a report from Italian newspaper [Corriere dello Sport](https://www.corrieredellosport.it/?refresh_ce), as cited by [LFC Transfer Room](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1446546041747214338) on Twitter, Liverpool are among the contenders to sign Vlahovic.

The report claims that Jurgen Klopp’s side ‘absolutely need’ a player in the mould of the [10-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dusan-vlahovic/nationalmannschaft/spieler/357498/verein_id/3438) star.

On the back of an outstanding [21 goal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dusan-vlahovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/357498/plus/0/saison/2020/wettbewerb/IT1/verein/430) Serie A campaign last season, Vlahovic has scored [four times and provide one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dusan-vlahovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/357498) in seven league outings this term – earning a [7.03 average Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/dusan-vlahovic/832208) in the process.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Signing a recognised striker would certainly be a throwaway from the current [modus operandi](https://thefalse9.com/2020/07/jurgen-klopp-pressing-tactics-liverpool-system.html) at Anfield.

Predominantly Klopp utilises either [Roberto Firmino as a false nine](https://www.planetfootball.com/trending/roberto-firmino-isnt-liverpools-false-nine-hes-their-perfect-nine/) or Diogo Jota as a central figure, neither of whom could proclaim to be archetypal centre-forwards.

By contrast, the 6’2 Serbian ace is an out and out central striker, possessing [strong aerial and finishing](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/315369/Show/Dusan-Vlahovic) ability.

Often operating [between two flying wingers](https://formation-y.com/en/formation/fiorentina.html) at Fiorentina, Vlahovic would be an easy fit in this Liverpool side and should be under serious consideration as the team evolves.

Valued at £36million and under contract until 2023 in Florence ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dusan-vlahovic/marktwertverlauf/spieler/357498)), the board must be exciting about the prospect of landing a potential superstar for a bargain fee.
