Vlahovic open to contract renewal – Juventus exit never on the agenda

 

 

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is reportedly open to discussing a contract renewal that would secure his long-term future at the club.

 

The Serbian joined the Bianconeri in January 2022 following a ground-shattering transfer from Fiorentina. His current deal is valid until the summer of 2026. ............

 

The player’s agent Darko Ristic has informed the club of the striker’s willingness to sign a one-year extension, pushing back the deadline until 2027.

 

This would allow the club to spread the amortization cost over a longer period. The agreement could also revise the player’s wage structure.

 

Based on his current contract, Vlahovic is entitled to elevating wages that would reach circa 12 million euros as net salary in the 2025/26 campaign. ............

 

Vlahovic had never entertained the thought of leaving the club, even when the Premier League prospect emerged in the summer.

Luca Toni praises Juventus for not swapping Vlahovic for Lukaku

 

 

Juventus reportedly explored the possibility of swapping Dusan Vlahovic for Romelu Lukaku during the summer transfer window, a move driven by Vlahovic’s struggles at the club. Lukaku, an accomplished striker, had played a pivotal role in Inter Milan’s Serie A triumph in 2021, and his track record with various top clubs added to his appeal.

 

Despite Lukaku being perceived as a more reliable option, the proposed swap didn’t materialise as Juventus encountered difficulties in offloading Vlahovic. Consequently, Lukaku ended up joining AS Roma on loan instead.

 

The potential decision to sell Vlahovic to acquire Lukaku was met with scepticism from many Juventus supporters, and this sentiment was shared by former player Luca Toni. ............

 

“I have always been sceptical, and I even told you so. Juventus did well to keep Vlahovic.”

 

Asked if Vlahovic should be sold for 90m euros now, he added: 

 

“No, not even for 100. He is strong, and young. And these figures will also arrive in the future for someone like Vlahovic, destined to become one of the best nine in Europe”. ............

Cesare Prandelli explains what has changed for in-form Vlahovic

 

 

Cesare Prandelli, the former Fiorentina coach, has provided insight into Dusan Vlahovic’s recent run of top form. The Serbian striker initially faced challenges at the start of the season, experiencing ups and downs during his spell at Juventus.

 

Vlahovic’s performance at Juve had been inconsistent, but in recent weeks, he has showcased terrific form, aligning with Juventus’ pursuit of the Serie A title against Inter Milan. Prandelli attributes Vlahovic’s resurgence to the forward finally hitting a fine run of form. ............

 

“First of all, he left behind the ailments that perhaps did not guarantee him this physical and mental tranquility, because if one is not well he cannot perform… But it must also be said that in the last few matches the continuity of performances of the team has helped him Juventus: now the midfield is oriented more towards him, without forcing him to always go towards the ball. 

 

“We know that he is relentless in the area, and now what we said in the past is being confirmed. Dusan has more confidence and control, but he is also the team that has changed.” ............

Former Juventus man explains why Vlahovic is better than Lautaro Martinez

 

 

Ahead of the Derby d’Italia this weekend, one intriguing on-field battle is between Dusan Vlahovic and Lautaro Martinez. ............

 

Former Juventus man Stefano Tacconi is impressed with both stars, but he is convinced that Vlahovic has an edge over Martinez and reveals this:

 

“In my opinion, Vlahovic is stronger with his head, left foot and right foot, while Lautaro is certainly a goalscorer who steals and also scores heavy goals. Vlahovic is stronger at manoeuvring in the area, while Lautaro is more fearsome from outside the area. shots are truly deadly. Since the match is being played at San Siro, I think Lautaro is the one who can suffer the most pressure while Vlahovic has learned to manage the frenzy if he doesn’t score straight away.” ............

Vlahovic Turns Down Latest Contract Offer from Juventus

 

 

Juventus recently made another attempt to prolong the contract of Dusan Vlahovic, but their efforts were in vain. His agent Darko Ristic was on the San Siro stands for the recent clash with Inter. The parties touched base afterward, but there were no notable advancements.

 

The Bianconeri want to re-do the deal not for its length but for economic reasons. The wages of the Serb are set to increase to €12M in the coming seasons. It’s an unsustainable sum for their balance sheets.

 

Juventus proposed to the Vlahovic camp to dilute his salary by tacking on a few more years. The ideal annual figure for the team would be a more manageable €8M. The request was rebuffed.

 

Instead, the striker might accept if the Bianconeri proposed €10M per year until 2028. The club hasn’t gotten there so far. ............

Juventus Superstar Looking Forward to New Era in Turin

 

 

A new era at Juventus is about to get underway as Thiago Motta prepares to take over from the sacked Massimiliano Allegri. Star frontman Dusan Vlahovic is enthusiastic about the new chapter in Turin, insisting the Bianconeri must return into the Scudetto frame after a four-year barren run.

 

“Juventus are one of the biggest clubs in the world, the biggest in Italy, and accustomed to winning trophies every year,” Vlahovic was adamant: “We were in the running for the Scudetto until February, but in the end, Inter won deservedly, and there are no doubts about that.

 

“This next season could be a launching pad for us. We’ve seen that we can do it, so Juventus must get back to winning the Scudetto, or at least having the ambition to do so.“ ............

 

Among those who could benefit from Motta’s vision, Vlahovic occupies a special place. Not even Allegri’s destructive way of playing prevented the Serbia international from tallying 18 goals in 38 competitive appearances last term. The figures could only go up under Motta.

 

There’s a feeling the ex-Inter midfielder could help Vlahovic become the best version of himself and, in turn, make Juventus a more attractive team to watch. The club is already taking the necessary steps to back their new manager. ............

The Bianconeri now need him to make some sacrifices, and Cristiano Giuntoli is working on a new deal to lower the salary of the former Fiorentina man. ............

Vlahovic rejects Juventus proposal to lower his salary

 

 

Juventus is struggling to get Dusan Vlahovic to accept a pay cut and spread his salary over several seasons. ............

 

However, Juve agreed to increase his salary to 12 million euros net per season starting next term when he first joined them.

 

This agreement was made by the previous board, and the club is now struggling to honour it. ............

But journalist Gianni Balzarini claims he has rejected that idea. He said:

 

“Vlahovic? It seemed that he had accepted the request for salary distribution but no. He said no: he sent the proposal back to the sender. There can only be two reasons. Does he want more money?” ............

Christian Vieri is confident that Dusan Vlahovic will excel for Serbia at Euro 2024.

 

While Serbia may not be considered one of the favourites, the competition often allows for surprises, and they are seen as dark horses. .............

 

Vieri now anticipates that Vlahovic will carry over the form he displayed last season to the international stage.

 

He said:

 

“For me he doesn’t score less than five goals. He remained positive even when Juventus wasn’t. I see him calm, ready. Apart from his deadly left foot and his header, he has one thing more: great anger and a great hunger for goals.” .............

Oppini insists Vlahovic does not deserve his current Juventus deal

 

 

Juventus has had some legendary strikers over the years, from Alessandro Del Piero to Carlos Tevez. But does Dušan Vlahović belong in the same category? .............

 

Although he is one of the best players in the squad, his salary seems excessive to some. In the final year of his current deal, he is set to earn around 12 million euros per season.

 

Juventus will feel justified if he delivers the goals they need, but pundit Francesco Oppini insists he is not worth that much.

 

“Juventus without a striker of the same calibre since Cristiano Ronaldo, the rest of the chatter is blown away by the wind along with the recent glorious memories of immortal strikers like Tevez first and Higuain then. As of today, Vlahovic is not a striker worthy of Juventus and 12 million a year”. .............

He said: “Vlahovic? He seems to me to be a player who has also matured in his sense of responsibility.” ............

Guido Vaciago explains why Dusan Vlahovic’s psychological state is worrying

 

 

Dusan Vlahovic was the star of the show during Juventus’ match against Verona. However, he struggled in the game against AS Roma.

 

The Serbian is the club’s main striker, and Juve did not sign another frontman because they were confident he could lead their line effectively. ............

 

Journalist Guido Vaciago has now commented on what concerns him about the Serbian striker. He said:

 

“Only one thing worries: the psychological state of Dusan Vlahovic who, when he is having a bad day, gets discouraged after the first mistakes and tangles the thread of his game until he finds himself in an inextricable tangle, in which he ends up stumbling continuously. Last night he lacked a spark to resolve the game: in a championship, the games won because you have the bomber and the others don’t are the ones that weigh much more in the final count of points”. ............

Luca Toni confident: “Vlahovic can score 30 goals for Juventus”

 

 

Luca Toni, the former Juventus striker, has expressed strong confidence in Dusan Vlahovic’s potential to achieve a 30-goal season with Juventus. ............

 

“Vlahovic? We are only at the beginning, but the signs are encouraging from this point of view: he has scored two goals, but he has had chances and with less bad luck, he could have scored a few more. Juventus will play many matches, participating in five competitions: yes, I am convinced that Dusan can also reach 30 goals,” Toni stated. ............

 

“Koopmeiners and Vlahovic can make each other’s fortune, even in the goal area. The Dutchman’s through balls will be fundamental for Dusan. But I am convinced that the Serbian’s movements will free up important spaces for Koop, very poisonous when he takes aim. Yildiz will also be very valuable, as he can become Juventus’ revelation. The new number 10 is a modern player: he has creativity, can beat his man, and then there’s the Bayern school, a guarantee.” ............

Juventus is keen to spread Vlahovic’s salary with a new contract

 

 

According to his contract terms with Juventus, Dusan Vlahovic is earning at least €10 million per season starting this campaign.

 

This figure will increase to €12 million in the final year of his contract, which expires in 2026. ............

 

The Bianconeri are aware that they need to secure an extension soon, and one way to do that is by renegotiating his contract to lower his wages.

 

Although he is a starter, his current earnings exceed the club’s desired financial limits, so a change is necessary.

 

Juve plans to extend his contract by spreading his current wages over a longer period. ............

 

It remains unclear if DV9 and his representatives will be willing to make such a compromise to stay at the Allianz Stadium. ............

Juventus schedules meeting with Vlahovic’s agent and will make good offer

 

 

Juventus is eager to reduce Dušan Vlahović’s salary through a new contract negotiation. Once his current deal reaches its peak, the Serbian striker is set to become the highest-paid player in Serie A, earning €12 million per season. ............

 

Juventus is not in a position to pay Vlahović €12 million net per season, which amounts to €24 million gross. As a result, the club is looking to renegotiate a new deal to bring down his wages.

 

Juventus has scheduled a meeting with Vlahović’s agent at the end of this month to discuss a contract extension until 2028. The new terms would likely offer a salary similar to Lautaro Martínez’s €9 million net per season, potentially saving the club around €6 million annually. ............

Juventus draws up a list of players that could replace Vlahovic

 

 

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. ............

 

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. ............
