After 4 seasons of playing for Juventus, striker Dusan Vlahovic did not achieve much success. In addition, he is still interfering with Juve in the journey to rebuild the team.
3 and a half years ago, Vlahovic was bought by Juventus from Fiorentina with a price of up to 70 million euros, not to mention 10 million euros incurred. But despite the cost of Juve so much, Vlahovic only helps the host team win a title of Coppa Italia 2023/24.
According to the Italian media, the Juventus leadership felt that Vlahovic “only” scored 58 goals/145 matches was not enough to meet expectations. Therefore, it was reported that they had taken the former striker of Fiorentina to the list of players who need to be reasonable this summer.
Dusan Vlahovic is currently not lacking in choice, because it is reported that coach Jose Mourinho of Fenerbahce is trying to take him to Türkiye to play football. In addition, Juventus also intends to use him to exchange for winger Jadon Sancho of MU.
In fact, from last summer, Juve had recruited Sancho. However, this British player finally joined Chelsea on loan. The problem with Juventus is that Vlahovic has no plans to change the club in the near future.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the 25 -year -old told his best friends that he was not planning to leave Juventus before the 2025/26 season started. Instead, the player possesses a height of 1m91 decided to cling to Juve, until the contract between the parties expires. Despite knowing that he was making it difficult for Juventus, Vlahovic would definitely not cut his income to extend the contract.
That also means that Juve may lose Vlahovic after another year. Not only that, Vlahovic's “stubbornness” also makes them difficult to strengthen the attack. At this time, Bianconeri is targeting striker Jonathan David to be released by Lille. Although they do not take the transfer fee, they still have to pay the Canadian player 6 million euros/season (excluding reward). This is the fee that Juventus is not easy to mobilize if it has not pushed Vlahovic to another place.
Vlahovic's income increases significantly if they stay
When Vlahovic signed a 4 -and -a -half -year contract with Juventus in early 2022, the parties installed the terms that allow the Serbian striker to get a salary increase in the season 2025/26. Accordingly, if continuing to play for the black and white striped shirt team next season, Vlahovic's income will be 12.5 million euros/season, significantly higher than the current number of 7.5 million euros/season.
