The future of Dusan Vlahovic is entering its decisive phase, with only a few days left before the transfer window closes. The Serbian striker has been the subject of continuous speculation throughout the summer, but the prospect of his departure from Juventus now seems more distant.
IlBianconero report that Vlahovic’s family has joined him in Turin to support him during this crucial moment, underlining how significant the upcoming hours will be. A final summit is expected soon, where the striker will need to make his definitive choice. Two contrasting options remain on the table: stay with Juventus until the end of his contract in 2026—benefiting from a lucrative €12 million net salary in his final year—or accept the club’s pressure to leave, thereby allowing Juventus to free up resources and potentially cash in before it’s too late.
The Milan Option and Market Scenarios
One of the possibilities that had fascinated Vlahovic was a move to Milan. However, the Rossoneri have gone in different directions with their attack, making that path less feasible. Unless a major European club unexpectedly enters the race in the final days of the market, the striker appears more likely to remain in black and white.
Interestingly, his stance has already played in his favour. After weeks of tension, Vlahovic featured in Juventus’ opening league fixture and even found the net, proving that he can still be a valuable asset for the team, either as a starter or as an alternative option to Jonathan David.
Relationship with Tudor
Relations with coach Igor Tudor remain positive despite a few minor disagreements during preseason in the United States. Tudor has consistently defended him, most notably after jeers in a friendly, stressing that the striker has always behaved as a true professional. With a packed schedule that includes weekly double fixtures, rotation is inevitable, and Vlahovic could realistically find meaningful space in the squad.
Financial Implications and Kolo Muani Links
From the club’s perspective, the real issue is economic: the costs tied to Vlahovic—over €41 million in total between salary and amortization—are a heavy burden on Juventus’ books. This financial weight complicates any ambition to sign Randal Kolo Muani, a move approved by John Elkann but only under sustainable conditions.
The Final Countdown
For now, Vlahovic remains in Turin as the final week of the transfer window unfolds. While the decision is almost upon him, one thing is certain: his future will have significant consequences both for himself and for Juventus. Whether he remains a central figure in the club’s plans or departs at the very last moment, the next 24 to 48 hours will be decisive.
