According to Sport and Goal.com, Dušan Vlahović and his team are following the situation at Barcelona and believe a transfer is not ruled out. Vlahović's representatives offered him to Barcelona at the start of the transfer window but were told that he was not a priority. The initial financial terms included a 10 million euro signing bonus and an annual net salary of eight million euros. Barcelona rejected the possibility as the sporting sector and coach Hansi Flick consider Julian Alvarez to be the main target. After leaving Juventus, Vlahović has reduced his demands to align with Barcelona's financial limits. Barcelona continues to consider Vlahović as an option, but the club is not taking specific actions, and it is uncertain if they will make an offer. While the club values him as a quality player, they have doubts about the transfer due to his recent injury problems and playing style.

According to SPORT, Dušan Vlahović has again offered his services to Barcelona for a free transfer. The report also states that he is not prepared to wait much longer and wants his next club to be confirmed by the end of the first week of August.

After facing firm resistance from Atlético de Madrid in the pursuit of Julián Álvarez, FC Barcelona is considering Dušan Vlahović as a reinforcement for the striker position who may be easier to acquire. Vlahović is a 26-year-old Serbian attacker with 16 goals in 41 caps for his country. Deco and his team view him as an option whose future seems less certain than Álvarez's. It is said that his club is open to negotiation, and Barcelona could attempt to pursue a more favorable financial opportunity. Vlahović has also been linked with other clubs, including Chelsea, Milan, and Atlético Madrid. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €35.00m. Reports in late 2025 placed his asking price in the €15 million to €25 million range.
