Dusan Vlahovic's Juventus record is schizophrenic . While the potential arrival of Antonio Conte on the Turin bench complicates the 25-year-old striker's future, the Italian coach has ultimately remained with Napoli. Confirmed in his role, Igor Tudor believes more in Dusan Vlahovic and maintains him in competition with Randal Kolo Muani. While one could expect a calm situation for this summer, this will not be the case, quite the contrary.
While his hefty €12 million salary is weighing on the club's finances and still runs until June 2026, Juventus wants to extend his contract at a lower amount. The player does not intend to accept, according to Gazzetta dello Sport . The media outlet also specifies that the player intends to see out his contract in order to take advantage of his free agent status in a year to be able to keep the same emoluments at his next club.
Vlahovic prevents David's arrival
This situation is completely unsuitable for Juventus, who hope to extend his contract, but prefer to sell him this summer and obtain some financial compensation to get back on their feet. However, this is not happening, as tensions are high between the player and his club. The former Fiorentina player has even confided to those close to him his desire to stay at Turin at all costs next year and admitted to having rejected an approach from Fenerbahçe.
The player, who has 17 goals and 5 assists in 44 matches this season, is even prepared to remain on the bench, or even in the stands, rather than sit on his financial demands. Juventus, for their part, have identified a replacement in the now-former Lille player Jonathan David, who is a free agent. However, the deal cannot be blocked for financial reasons as long as Juventus has Dusan Vlahovic's hefty salary to disrupt their plans.
