With Alvaro Morata and Moise Kean facing an uncertain future, Juventus are searching the market for a new striker. The right candidate is a bomber who is able to act as an understudy for Dusan Vlahovic and perhaps even a sidekick for the Serbian on the pitch.
According to Calicomercato, Juventus held a meeting with the entourage of Marko Arnautovic on Wednesday.
The summit was apparently meant to open a dialogue for the 33-year-old Austrian who enjoyed a decent campaign at Bologna.
Last season, the experienced striker scored 14 Serie A goals for the Rossoblu, while acting as a leader on the pitch and driving the team forward in times of difficulties.
The Austria striker is of Serbian origins, making him a compatriot of Vlahovic. The source believes that the former Inter man has the required technical skills than enable him to play as a support forward, and thus fit within the same formation alongside the 22-year-old.
The report believes that Juventus could soon open talks with Bologna who have a contract with the player until 2024.
Despite failing to impress at Inter during his earlier years, Arnautovic proved his worth in is other stints. The well-traveled striker represented the likes of Twente, Werder Bremer, West Ham United and Stoke City in his storied career.
Marko what? Juve’s got to do better than this!
Come on for god’s sake. Arnautovic is simply not a big team player and he’s also a very toxic player on and off the pitch.
