Overview

  • Dusan Vlahovic has refused all transfer proposals and declined to renegotiate his contract, choosing to stay at Juventus until it expires in June 2026.
  • His nearly €12 million salary for the 2025–26 season has blocked Juventus’s pursuit of free-agent Jonathan David, who would demand about €6 million plus bonuses.
  • Despite reported interest from Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, Premier League clubs and Arab investors, no formal bids have materialized for the striker.
  • The impasse over Vlahovic also derailed Juventus’s negotiations with Nottingham Forest for defenders Mbangula and Weah.
  • Juventus is considering excluding Vlahovic from the first-team squad under its ‘fuori rosa’ tactic to pressure him into a transfer.
