Fiorentina star Dusan Vlahovic is leading the race for the Capocannoniere this season, with a return of 15 goals in 17 games. In 2021, he has netted 32 goals in 41 games for the Serie A club, and is showing no signs of slowing down. 

[Dusan Vlahovic](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/315369/Show/Dusan-Vlahovic) is also closing in on [Cristiano Ronaldo’s](https://technosports.co.in/2021/12/12/premier-league-fixture-roundup-11-december-2021/) Serie A record of scoring 33 goals in one calendar year. With two games remaining this year, the 21-year-old has a great chance to break Ronaldo’s record and establish himself as a top forward in Italy, regardless of how much time he has left in the league.

The striker scored a brace in Fiorentina’s 4-0 win over Salernitana and has sent the club into fifth place as a result. To the disappointment of Fiorentina fans, the player has said that he will not be renewing his contract with the club. 

## What is Dusan Vlahovic’s transfer situation? 

The deal runs out in 2023, which means that he will have to be sold in June 2022 to avoid a free transfer. And almost every top name in Europe is being urged to join in the race for the player, by the looks of things.

Should any club want to sign the Serbian in the January transfer window, they will have to pay a fee worth €70 million. Otherwise, they can wait for the summer to potentially negotiate a lower price for the in-form striker. 

Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are reportedly in the race for the player despite his high price tag. He is also being considered an alternative to Erling Haaland, whose transfer situation remains uncertain as of yet.
