Overview
- Juventus have two points from three Champions matches and, by media estimates, need roughly 10 from the next five to stay in contention for progression.
- Spalletti said he spoke with Dusan Vlahovic and that the striker would be “very happy” to remain at the club.
- Any extension would likely come on significantly reduced terms from his reported €8 million base salary plus a €4 million loyalty bonus in this final season.
- Vlahovic is listed to start against Sporting, with Yildiz available again, while Sporting arrive with six points from their first three games.
- Jonathan David has dropped in the striker hierarchy and Italian reports suggest a January exit is possible, as Tottenham, Chelsea and Bayern are also credited with interest in Vlahovic.
