Dusan Vlahovic’s future at Juventus appears increasingly uncertain as the summer transfer window heats up. The Serbian striker, who scored 15 goals last season, has been at the center of transfer rumors for months. His substantial salary of €12 million per year is at odds with Juventus’ current financial strategy, making his departure seem likely.
Despite his importance to the team and his impressive goal tally, Juventus are not willing to let Vlahovic go easily. The club values him highly and is reportedly seeking around €40 million for his transfer. However, Corriere dello Sport report (as quoted by IlBianconero) how Fenerbahce, now managed by José Mourinho, have emerged as a determined suitor and are ready to put €30 million on the table for the striker.
Fenerbahce’s interest is not without competition. Other clubs, including Galatasaray and Atletico Madrid, are monitoring the situation, but the Turkish side is moving quickly. Their offer includes a salary of €10 million per year for Vlahovic, a figure close to his current earnings at Juventus and significantly higher than what other interested clubs, such as Milan, are rumored to be offering.
The move to Fenerbahce would see Vlahovic become a central figure in their attack, especially after the departures of key forwards Edin Dzeko and Dusan Tadic, who together scored 34 goals last season. With Juventus keen to reduce their wage bill and Vlahovic unlikely to accept a pay cut or extend his contract, the club is seriously considering Fenerbahce’s proposal.
