Overview
- Juventus, which sent the reported one‑year €8 million package on Saturday, June 20, framed the deal as a final, take‑it‑or‑leave‑it offer.
- Vlahovic’s contract runs out on June 30 and he has not publicly agreed terms with another club, while interest from top European teams has produced no concrete offers.
- The €8 million figure is reported to include add‑ons and would be a significant pay cut from the striker’s current reported total earnings of about €12 million net per year.
- Newly installed CEO Giovanni Carnevali drove the renewed push to resolve the standoff before the contract expiry, marking a change from the previous negotiating stance.
- If Vlahovic departs on a free transfer Juventus would crystallize a large sunk cost on the roughly €70 million paid in 2022 and the standoff could dent fan sentiment and related commercial products.
