"According to Diario Sport, the striker is "not a priority" for Barcelona and "contacts have been frozen for weeks" as the Catalans look for alternatives. In fact the report even goes as far as to say "barring a surprise, Vlahovic will not wear the Blaugrana shirt" even though he is thought to be fairly keen on a move to the Camp Nou."
"Barcelona's initial interest in Vlahovic came about under Xavi Hernandez, who was a big fan, but the feeling now is that the striker is "not the style of player" they are looking for at the moment when it comes to a new No. 9. Although Vlahovic is seen as a great goalscorer, the Catalans want a more versatile player who can feature across the front three."
Barcelona's pursuit of Dusan Vlahovic has stalled significantly this season. The club has deprioritized the 26-year-old striker, freezing communications for several weeks while exploring other options. Although Vlahovic remains interested in joining Barcelona, the Catalans are unlikely to pursue him further unless their financial situation changes regarding the 1:1 rule. Barcelona's initial interest stemmed from former manager Xavi Hernandez's preference, but current priorities have shifted. The club now seeks a more versatile forward capable of playing across the front three rather than a pure goalscorer. Julian Alvarez and Manchester City's Omar Marmoush are among Barcelona's preferred targets.
