These are decisive days for Dusan Vlahovic’s future at Juventus. Not long ago, the idea of a contract renewal for the Serbian seemed little more than a fantasy, but now it is becoming a concrete possibility. Tuttosport report how, following last week’s meeting between the club’s hierarchy and the player’s entourage, both parties have shown a willingness to continue together, a crucial step that has reopened talks and pushed negotiations into their most delicate phase: finding an economic agreement on his salary, the issue that had previously kept them apart.
Vlahovic at the Heart of the Project
In the meantime, some things have changed at Continassa. One certainty, as reported by Tuttosport, is that Juventus have no intention of going into the next transfer window looking for two new strikers. This is yet another sign that Vlahovic is firmly at the centre of the technical project. Instead, the club will aim to bring in one more high-level centre-forward, someone who can share the workload with the Serbian and be fully interchangeable with him.
Kolo Muani the Ideal Profile
For Juventus, the ideal name remains Randal Kolo Muani. He fits both from a financial perspective—with a fee expected to be under 50 million euros, and with PSG open to discussions—and in terms of his footballing profile and the understanding he has already built up with Vlahovic. For now, the prospect of pairing the two is just an idea, but it clearly signals the Bianconeri’s intention not to build the future attack around Jonathan David or Lois Openda.
David and Openda on the Periphery
In this scenario, there appears to be no long-term space for the two summer signings. Both David and Openda risk being pushed to the margins, with the club needing to find at least one alternative solution for them ahead of next season. Much will depend on Vlahovic and the outcome of his renewal talks, which are now truly entering the decisive stage.
