Besiktas has approached Vlahovic with a concrete proposal, but the striker has chosen to pause negotiations. His aim is to continue playing at the highest level, ideally in La Liga or the Premier League, with Barcelona standing out as his preferred destination.

However, Barcelona's sporting director has communicated to Vlahovic's camp that signing a striker like him is not currently a top priority. The club is primarily focused on securing Julián Álvarez to strengthen the attack. Only if efforts to sign Álvarez fall through will Barcelona look toward Vlahovic.

A main obstacle in negotiations remains the striker’s financial demands, which reportedly include a net salary of around €8 million per season, a signing bonus close to €10 million, and significant commissions for his entourage.
