£25m striker is interested in joining Nottingham Forest, he’s demanding £190k-a-week

Chris Wood was in phenomenal form for Nottingham Forest last season, helping the club return to Europe as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side qualified for the Europa League.

The New Zealand international played in 36 Premier League games for Nottingham Forest last season, scoring 20 goals and providing three assists.

However, Chris Wood is currently 33 years old and Nottingham Forest could be looking to find a long-term replacement for the striker.

As a result, they have been linked with a number of striking options during the summer transfer window, but fans may be happy to link them with one name, a striker who has been linked with other top English clubs, past and present.

Nottingham Forest interested in signing Dušan Vlahović

Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović is keen to secure a move to the Premier League this summer, according to Teamtalk.

The Serbian international has spent the last three years of his life with the Italian giants, joining them in January 2022 from Arsenal.

Since joining Juventus, the club have struggled to fulfil his ambitions of promotion to Serie A, but he now appears to be looking to leave the club.

Although he has been strongly linked with Manchester United, Nottingham Forest are also interested in signing the striker, with Vlahović reportedly demanding a weekly wage of £190,000.

Dušan Vlahović career stats

He began his career in Serbia with Partizan Belgrade, where he impressed clubs from the big leagues, having broken through into the defence with his large build from a young age.

Fiorentina would officially sign Vlahović in February 2018, with the striker not playing for the club until July 2018.

He struggled to find his way through the ranks in his first two seasons before turning the corner and becoming one of Serie A’s top scorers, scoring 49 goals in 108 appearances for Fiorentina.

Vlahović’s career at Juventus was relatively disappointing, as he failed to score as many goals as was expected when he signed for the club.

The blame should not be placed solely on him, as the club has struggled since he was there, while Juventus struggle with the identity they want to advance towards: a club that plays free football, or a club that approaches every match and wants to win by any means possible.
