Dusan Vlahovic maintains Barcelona as his top priority for the upcoming season. The Serbian forward, who became free after his contract with Juventus expired, continues to reject the significant offer presented by Besiktas because he believes that the Blaugrana will make a move in the coming weeks. The potential departure of Ferran Torres to PSG could pave the way that the attacker has been waiting for since his bond with the Italian club ended. 

At 26 years old, Dusan Vlahovic remains one of the most sought-after forwards in the market despite being without a club. His contractual situation makes him a very attractive opportunity for any top European club, as there would be no transfer fee, only the negotiation of a signing bonus and a salary befitting his international status.

Meanwhile, Besiktas continues to press for a definitive answer. The Turkish club has even given the player an ultimatum, tired of waiting for a response that has yet to materialize. The reason behind this has a name: Barcelona. 

Vlahovic trusts Barcelona to make the move

Vlahovic's strategy is clear. The Serbian international believes that a call from Barcelona could still come, a destination he has always viewed favorably and that aligns with his sporting aspirations.

The Barcelona sporting management is well aware of the striker's situation. They are keeping an eye on the opportunity market and the chance to add an established goalscorer without a transfer fee is very appealing from an economic standpoint. 

However, any move will depend on departures. Barcelona's offensive planning is not yet finalized, and the future of several forwards will impact any new signings.

Among them, the case of Ferran Torres stands out, whose continuity has been the subject of numerous reports in recent days.

Ferran Torres could change the whole scenario

The potential transfer of Ferran Torres to Paris Saint-Germain is one of the most crucial matters currently being dealt with by Barcelona. The Spanish forward is of interest to Luis Enrique, and discussions could intensify once the 2026 World Cup concludes. 

In addition to the financial benefit of this operation, the Catalan club would free up an important spot in their wage bill, which is particularly relevant given the financial constraints that continue to influence their sporting planning.

Furthermore, various reports suggest that a sale would spare Barcelona from paying certain outstanding clauses to Manchester City related to a future renewal of the Spanish international. 

In this scenario, Vlahovic would stand out as a significant reinforcement possibility to complement the Blaugrana attack alongside Robert Lewandowski and the other planned additions for this summer.

Besiktas still holds out hope

While Barcelona remains calm, Besiktas continues to try to persuade the forward. The Turkish club has tabled an economic proposal far superior to what the Catalan club could offer, including a salary close to 10 million euros net per season and a substantial signing bonus. 

Nevertheless, Vlahovic keeps delaying any decision. His priority is to compete in one of the major European leagues and continue playing in the top continental competition.

The officials of the Turkish club expected to finalize the deal in the early days of July, but the wait has been longer than anticipated, and patience is starting to wear thin. 

All signs point to the striker's future being directly linked to Barcelona's offensive moves in the coming weeks. If Ferran Torres' departure is indeed finalized, the Blaugrana could find in the Serbian a market opportunity that is hard to match.

For now, Vlahovic remains without a club, still free, and keeps his hope alive of wearing the Barcelona shirt. The outcome will depend on the domino effect triggered by the pending operations at the Camp Nou, but the forward has made it clear with his decisions that he is willing to wait a little longer before giving up on what he considers the ideal destination to rejuvenate his career.
