Dusan Vlahovic recently stirred controversy among several Juventus fans after posting a photo on Instagram accompanied by the caption `Nueve`. While the club is reportedly keen on securing Jonathan David, their current financial situation, burdened by an attacker earning 12 million euros per season, prevents them from making such a move. This contractual predicament, according to reports, stems from an initial error by the club itself when negotiating Vlahovic`s terms. The Serbian striker has reportedly reaffirmed his desire to remain in Turin to his teammates during their time in the United States.
His agent, Darko Ristic, appears to have a clear strategy: guiding his client to the conclusion of his current contract in June 2026. Damien Comolli is reportedly attempting to avert this scenario, but currently, Turkey represents the only market expressing concrete interest in the center-forward. For several weeks now, the former Partizan Belgrade player has seemed increasingly detached from the team environment. This situation is far from ideal for a player who has historically relied on feeling trusted and supported to perform at his peak. Consequently, envisioning him splitting time between the bench and the stands in the 2025-2026 season seems quite improbable.
Since joining the `Old Lady` (Juventus) in January 2022, Dusan Vlahovic has made 145 appearances, scoring 58 goals.
