Juventus and Vlahovic on the Same Page About the Future

While the future of several Juventus players hangs in the balance, Dusan Vlahovic is one of the few who already knows he will stay put.

While the future of several Juventus players hangs in the balance, Dusan Vlahovic is one of the few who already knows that he will most likely stay put in Turin this summer, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs (via Tuttomercatoweb).

The Bianconeri would like to agree to a renewal to lower his yearly salary and extend the amortization of his huge price tag. However, it’s not a top priority. If possible, it’ll be handled in June or July. But the contractual talks with Adrien Rabiot, Federico Chiesa, and Weston McKennie come first.

Despite some lulls, especially last season due to a nagging injury, Juventus are still certain of the worthiness of the investment they made to sign Vlahovic from Fiorentina. His rising wages, €10M, are more of an issue.

On the other hand, the Old Lady believes they won’t need to sacrifice the Serb to balance the books thanks to the Champions League prize money. They are four points from securing the qualification. The marksman often voiced his desire to stay to help his team return to winning ways.

Our Take on Juventus and Vlahovic

Their position might come from the fact that they have several other needs and don’t want another bother, or perhaps the lack of rich offers. Properly cashing in on him and removing his bloated salary from the payroll would go a long way to fixing their finances. Since he hasn’t taken the next step in Turin, replacing him with a cheaper player would be far from impossible.
