Juventus: Vlahovic to stay, open to new deal, Comolli confirms | OneFootball

After days of negotiations and rumors, a clear signal about the future of Dusan Vlahovic has emerged: Juventus' general manager, Damien Comolli, stated that the Serbian forward will remain with the team "99%," although he left a small window of uncertainty open.

Juventus, Vlahovic leaning towards staying: Comolli confirms, the Serbian surprisingly open to renewal

The possibility of a transfer to Milan is not entirely off the table yet, although the chances are diminishing by the hour.

Comolli assesses the Juventus market

On the sidelines of the Champions League group stage draw, Comolli outlined Juventus' market strategy, confirming some key points:

Kolo Muani: «We will work until Monday evening to see if there is room for a deal. Financial Fair Play requires caution, every million must be weighed.»

Nico Gonzalez: set to stay, despite interest from Atletico Madrid.

Savona: officially transferred to Nottingham Forest.

The Vlahovic case: between staying and renewing

The most interesting element concerns Vlahovic. On one hand, Milan remains vigilant, proposing creative solutions (such as a swap with Saelemaekers) but without meeting Juventus' demands of 20-25 million, while on the other hand, the forward seems inclined to stay in Turin.

According to sources close to his entourage, if he remains beyond the market closure, Vlahovic might even consider a contract renewal. This move, besides providing Juventus with a guarantee against the risk of losing him on a free transfer next summer, would allow the club to spread his 12 million annual salary over a longer period, easing the financial burden.

It is unclear whether this is a gesture of goodwill towards the club or a strategy to make himself more appealing in the winter market, but the message is clear: the possibility of a stable stay in Turin is no longer as remote as it seemed just a few weeks ago.

Champions League: a challenging but exciting group

Comolli also commented on the Champions League draw: «We will play in Norway on an artificial pitch, face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, and Sporting Lisbon, as well as Monaco. These will be exciting challenges, but Juventus is ready to face any opponent.»

Awaiting the final verdict

There are only a few hours left until the summer market closes, and Vlahovic's situation will be one of the central topics until the last moment. Juventus wants clarity and certainty: that 99% must become 100% by Monday evening.
