Dusan Vlahovic is starting to realise he won’t receive the offers he wants from Serie A, the Premier League or LaLiga, so is reportedly ready to listen to Vincenzo Italiano’s Besiktas.
The former Juventus striker has been a free agent since his contract in Turin was allowed to run down on June 30.

He had expected a flood of proposals to come in from Milan, Napoli, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal or Manchester United, but that simply has not happened.
Vlahovic sees lack of alternatives

There was also the possibility of a return to Juve on a lower salary than the €12m per season he was on, but they too appear to have moved on with Randal Kolo Muani and Kerim Alajbegovic coming in.
According to Calciomercato, Sportitalia and TRT Spor, Vlahovic is finally ready to listen to the offer from Besiktas and give negotiations some serious thought.
It would be a €10m per season salary, plus a large signing-on bonus and commission for his agent.
In turn, Besiktas warned that they will not wait beyond the end of next week, but have been calling Vlahovic practically every day to convince him.
They believe coach Vincenzo Italiano, who worked with the striker at Fiorentina during his most positive spell, can be a decisive factor.
