Juventus will meet with Dusan Vlahovic’s representatives at the end of this month to renegotiate his contract.
Although his current deal runs until 2026, the main concern is that Vlahovic is set to earn €12 million net in the final year of his contract. Juve is keen to avoid paying such a high salary and also wants him to extend his stay at the club.
This situation is delicate because if Vlahovic refuses to accept a pay cut as part of a new contract, Juventus could find themselves in a position similar to their recent situation with Federico Chiesa.
Vlahovic’s salary places a significant strain on the club’s finances, and Juventus wants to avoid a scenario where they are forced to sell him at a lower price.
If a new deal cannot be agreed upon, Juventus will likely have to sell and replace him. According to Calciomercato, the club already has a list of potential targets.
The report claims the Bianconeri are eyeing several strikers as potential replacements: Jonathan David, Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyökeres, Victor Boniface, Santiago Gimenez, or Samu Omorodion.
Juventus has been tracking these players and believes any of them could be a strong replacement for Vlahovic, likely on a more manageable salary.
Juve FC Says
Keeping DV9 should be our priority, but we can replace him with any of those players.
I’d like Sesko. He impressed me at the last tournament.
Also tired of DV we don’t need what if players. We need known quantities that we can rely on. Not players that we hope will deliver.
Viktor Gyökeres ticks all boxes for me. The guy is a goal machine
Let’s see if Motta can unleash the potential of DV9. But, regardless of the outcome, we need to tie him down to a lower salary and longer contract to have the options of either keeping him to bloom in our team, or selling him on our conditions
Said it before, and will say it again … Dusan V is totally overrated and overpaid.
He does not have football skills and every match he makes vital mistakes breaking down potential goals, and have the opposition lodging attacks against Juve. Beginning of last season
Allegri and Juve completely stuffed up when, Allegri took him for target practice sessions.
And what got Juve paying so much for him?
Now the penny has dropped and the real salary cut/selling challenge kicks in.
Everything of the best, Juve !!!
