Dusan Vlahovic is now expected to continue his career at Juventus, with the Serbian striker one of the players the club plans to keep as the transfer window approaches its conclusion.
There had been speculation for much of the summer that Vlahovic might depart, with AC Milan among the clubs showing interest. The possibility of a late move was discussed, particularly as he enters the final year of his contract and becomes a free agent at the end of the season.
Juventus had left the door open for potential suitors in the hope of recouping a fee and avoiding the need to pay his significant wages, reported to be around one million euros per month, until his deal expires. However, no concrete offers have materialised, and the forward is now set to remain in Turin.
A quiet summer for Vlahovic
While Juventus weighed up their options, Vlahovic remained calm about his situation. The 25-year-old has not agitated for a move, and with only days left before the window closes, it now appears certain he will stay at the Allianz Stadium.
This outcome may surprise some supporters, as the club had been open to his departure, but Juventus are prepared to retain his services for another season. They will now focus on ensuring he contributes effectively under the current management rather than considering last-minute alternatives.
Comolli confirms his future
General manager Damien Comolli addressed the situation and made it clear that the striker will remain with Juventus. Speaking to Tuttomercatoweb, he said:
“There’s no friction between us and Dusan. He’s part of the team, he’ll stay 99% of the time and be with us for the entire season. There have been many discussions with some clubs, but nothing concrete. His permanence is good news because he’s an excellent player, and he wants to stay too.”
The confirmation effectively ends any lingering speculation around Vlahovic’s future in this transfer window. Juventus must now work with the player for the remainder of his contract and make the most of his ability on the pitch.
Although some may feel the club missed the chance to cash in, keeping Vlahovic ensures stability in attack, and the striker will aim to prove his worth in the coming campaign.

This also shows that Comolli is NOT fit to be Juventus’ director. Incompetent!
I really hope we don’t see Vlahovic on the pitch. Juve have never known anything impossible about the downward way. Shame.
He will play. It’s inevitable that David or kolo (if that happens) will be injured. If kolo doesn’t come he has to play because we have no other strikers besides David. There’s no way in the modern game that a striker plays every single game with the massive schedule and especially the full 90 every game. Vlahovic was in the position of having all the leverage against juve. He signed a contract that gave him all the power and now we will lose him for nothing next summer. I hope Juve learns there lesson this time. All these bloated contracts for players who don’t play or play poorly.
I think it should be a question of honor. Juventus wanted to sell him. Vlahovic refused to leave. After that, I wouldn’t give him a single minute on the pitch this season, I would rather give any young player a chance.
This should also show that if a player doesn’t care what the club wants, then even if they don’t forcefully kick him out, it won’t do him any good to stay.
If Kolo doesn’t come, it will be partly the fault of Vlahovic (Juventus can’t afford any more overpaid players), and for that reason I wouldn’t give him a chance this season.
By the way, Chiesa was in the same situation last year. But last year we had a sporting director who could solve such situations. Even if he made bad decisions as well, Juventus’ situation is worse without him.
Almost all of the fans will hate Vlahovic, and from the moment he makes his first serious mistake, everyone in the stadium will boo him.
I haven’t seen such a fool in the world who needs this. He wouldn’t have played football for a sandwich at Milan either. Allegri likes him too. The whole thing is ridiculous and deeply amateurish.
