Vlahovic Contract Talks Stall, Milan Transfer Rumors Resurface

Current Situation

Dusan Vlahovic’s contract with Juventus runs out on 30 June 2026. The striker has returned to training but remains a fitness doubt, with his availability for the upcoming match against Sassuolo uncertain.

Juventus’ Offer

Juventus have tabled a three‑year extension that would run until 30 June 2029. The package includes a €5 million signing bonus and total net bonuses of €7 million – the same figure guaranteed to Kenan Yildiz. The club says the base salary is the maximum it can afford.

Player’s Reservations

While Juventus feel optimistic after the latest talks, Vlahovic and his representatives are unhappy with the bonus and commission structure, asking for significantly higher figures than those on offer.

Spalletti’s Influence

Former Fiorentina manager Luciano Spalletti has voiced his belief that Vlahovic is the linchpin of Juventus’ attack for next season, a view that has encouraged the striker to at least consider the club’s proposal.

Milan’s Interest

If Vlahovic rejects the Juventus deal, his place at the club could be questioned, reopening transfer scenarios. AC Milan, who had previously shelved the idea of signing him, have begun to test the waters again. Their interest would depend on whether moves for Moise Kean and Mateo Retegui materialise, and both Massimiliano Allegri and sporting director Giovanni Tare are known admirers of the Serbian.
