According to Tuttomercato, it was considered certain that Vanja Vlahovic would leave Spezia in this transfer window. However, a recent goal by him may influence the club management and coach to reconsider his departure. There are also ongoing negotiations involving Pedro Mendes and M’Bala Nzola that relate to the offensive department which includes Vlahovic.

Vanja Vlahovic, a young striker, is considered a potential substitute for other market signings for Atalanta's attacking area, which are being discussed for January. These include players like Berardi, Raspadori, and Maldini, who are being monitored by the club's CEO Luca Percassi. Vlahovic's arrival at Atalanta was initially on loan in February 2023, and he was then permanently signed in June 2023 for just 500,000 euros. His current market value is already over 6 million euros.
