The transfer window may have closed, but these are the days when a new chapter is being written for Dusan Vlahovic. Calciomercato report that while formal decisions are still pending, whispers and intuitions have already hinted at the direction Juventus is likely to take moving forward. The path seems to be leading towards a parting of ways.
Juventus are no longer willing to invest so heavily in their number 9, while Vlahovic has shown no inclination to spread his wages over a longer period. This impasse has set the stage for what could be a pivotal few days in the Serbian striker’s future with the club.
The significance of this period lies in the timing of discussions regarding Vlahovic’s contract extension, which were postponed to February, essentially after the close of the transfer window. With the bureaucratic details of Kelly’s transfer now resolved, each day presents an opportunity for a meeting between the club and Vlahovic’s agent, Ristic, to assess the situation. The current contract’s expiration in 2026 adds urgency to finding a resolution, one way or another, before the summer arrives.
The writing seems to be on the wall for Vlahovic’s departure at the end of the season. The striker himself appears to have sensed this shift, with the arrival of Kolo Muani serving as yet another indication of Juventus’ preparations for life after Vlahovic. The club seems to be sending a message: they can manage well without the Serbian forward.
Vlahovic’s recent goal celebration against Empoli was particularly telling. He directed a heart gesture towards the fans, the only constant supporters behind him. It felt like a farewell embrace at a train station, a subtle goodbye. Perhaps it was, at least in part, an acknowledgment of what seems increasingly inevitable.
