Dusan Vlahovic remains a hot topic within Juventus as the Serbian striker grapples with fluctuating performances and a complex relationship with the club. Despite scoring 12 goals across various competitions, including Serie A and the Champions League, his contributions have been inconsistent, leading to questions about his future in Turin. Compounding the situation is his hefty salary of €12 million per year, which clashes with Juventus’ strategy to reduce costs. With his contract set to expire in June 2026, the club faces a crucial decision regarding his future.
Calciomercato report that Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, recognizes that resolving the Vlahovic situation will be one of his most significant challenges. His intention is clear: to sell Vlahovic for no less than €60 million. However, this task is complicated by both the player’s high wages and the remaining duration of his contract, which limits Juventus’ leverage in negotiations.
Given Vlahovic’s financial demands and ambitions, a move to one of the wealthiest clubs in the world seems likely. Giuntoli is reportedly exploring interest from Manchester United, who are on the lookout for a top striker. Additionally, Arsenal has long been an admirer of Vlahovic, having previously sought to sign him before he joined Juventus from Fiorentina. The Gunners view him as a potential solution to bolster their attacking options.
As the winter transfer window progresses, it remains uncertain whether Juventus will push for an immediate sale or hold off until summer. Both Arsenal and Manchester United are poised to make competitive bids for Vlahovic, making this a pivotal moment in his career. Should Juventus decide to sell, they must act quickly to capitalize on the interest from these Premier League giants while navigating their own financial constraints
