Juventus plan transfer strategy to avoid losing Vlahovic on free transfer | OneFootball

Juventus have planned two potential strategies to offload striker Dusan Vlahovic to avoid losing the player on a free transfer next summer, reports from Italy claim.

According to what has been reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, the Bianconeri would consider a straight sale at a discounted price or a potential extension followed by a loan move to revive his form.

Juventus eager not to lose Vlahovic for free

Vlahovic’s current contract with Juventus expires in 2026 and recent rumours indicated that the player does not mind running down his final year in Bianconeri colours before leaving for nothing.

However, this solution is less than optimal for the Old Lady, who paid over €70 million (with bonuses) for the player in 2022 when he signed from Fiorentina.

The reports from Gazzetta suggest Juventus would be open to selling the player for just €25 million outright. If this is not feasible, the club may reportedly consider adding another year to his contract before loaning him out – in the hopes the player’s form bounces back and the situation can be reassessed next summer.
