Barcelona decides against signing free-agent striker Dusan Vlahovic

Summary

Barcelona has ruled out a move for free-agent striker Dusan Vlahovic, who has an offer from Turkey's Besiktas.

Barcelona's decision stems from their search for a different type of striker and concerns about Vlahovic's fitness, as he has dealt with injuries in recent seasons.
