Bayern Munich has decided on the possibility of signing Serbian striker Dušan Vlahović, a Juventus player, during the upcoming summer transfer window, after the club's management decided to exclude the idea due to high financial costs.

According to reports, Bayern Munich considers the deal to be 'too expensive' at the moment, which led them to close the door on signing the Serbian striker, despite his name recently being linked with a move to the club, alongside potential interest from Barcelona.

The Bavarian giant had previously decided not to activate the option to permanently purchase Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson, allowing him to return to Chelsea at the end of the current season.

Despite the continued presence of English striker Harry Kane as a primary option upfront, Bayern's management does not see Vlahović as the right target at this stage.

In recent times, the Serbian striker's name has been associated more than once with a move to Bayern Munich, but no official move has been made between the parties so far.

Italian reports also indicated that Vlahović is anticipating potential offers from Bayern Munich or Barcelona, given his imminent departure from Juventus, especially as his contract enters its final stages.

The player's contract with the Italian club ends at the end of next season, while both parties are currently negotiating to try to reach an agreement on renewal.

The newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Juventus' management held five separate sessions with the player's father and his agent, Milos Vlahović, to discuss the Serbian striker's future.

The report added that the player's camp showed flexibility regarding the salary issue, but no final agreement has been reached yet, with expectations that he would earn around 7 million euros annually if the contract is renewed, compared to the 12 million euros he currently receives.

Journalist Christian Falk confirmed: 'It is not true that Dušan Vlahović is among Bayern Munich's interests, the club sees the deal as too expensive, and his salary would be a complicated issue within the team.'

He added: 'Vlahović is not on the shortlist of three players the club is currently discussing, as there is still interest in signing Anthony Gordon, although that deal would also be costly, while the primary plan remains to move towards specific offensive deals before the new season.'

Vlahović has played 165 matches for Juventus, scoring 65 goals, but managed to score only 4 goals in Serie A this season in 16 appearances, adding to the uncertainty about his future in the coming period.
