Vlahovic demands rock Juve transfer plans | OneFootball

Juventus remain at the heart of the summer transfer market rumour mill, with several sources including Tuttosport, Spazio J, Bianconera News, and JNetwork24 providing the latest on squad moves and negotiations.

Dusan Vlahovic’s situation continues to dominate headlines. According to Tuttosport and Bianconera News, the striker’s future is unresolved, complicated by a standoff over financial terms. Vlahovic is reportedly demanding a €10 million severance package to depart, while Juventus are keen not to lose the player for free next year. Director Malu Mpasinkatu summed up the impasse: “The ideal would be for everyone to show a bit of common sense. The player must understand his cycle at Juve is over and a solution needs to be found to avoid a standoff where no one benefits.” Meanwhile, despite occasional external links, including to Milan or clubs in Saudi Arabia, there are few indications of an immediate breakthrough.

In attack, Juventus have already landed Jonathan David on a free after his contract with Lille expired. Yet, their pursuit of fresh attacking options is far from over. Spazio J reports that Karim Adeyemi of Borussia Dortmund has resurfaced as a serious target, though Dortmund’s asking price of €45-50 million is a major obstacle. Adeyemi remains an option if the pursuit of Porto’s Francisco Conceição falls through, with Conceição’s €30 million release clause proving tough due to Porto’s insistence on a lump-sum payment.

Elsewhere on the wing, Jadon Sancho’s name persists in the headlines. Tutto Juve and Bianconera News note that negotiations with Manchester United hinge on both the transfer fee and salary. Juventus have set a €6 million wage ceiling, while Sancho is seeking around €8 million. The gap could be bridged through bonuses, keeping talks alive. Sancho stands as a leading alternative if other wide targets are out of reach.

Activity is not limited to incoming signings. In midfield, Granit Xhaka is described by JNetwork24 as an “ideal profile” to add reliability and leadership. Juventus are considering the 32-year-old, whose price tag stands between €12-15 million, following his successful stint at Bayer Leverkusen and as Switzerland’s international captain. Outgoings are on the agenda as well: with Douglas Luiz reportedly available and Juventus preferring a sale over a loan arrangement with Aston Villa, and Samuel Mbangula—after a failed move to Nottingham Forest—now attracting interest from Bologna, Premier League, and Bundesliga clubs.

The defensive setup also looks set for more adjustment. Lloyd Kelly, whose €21 million arrival was widely questioned, may be on the move again, with Juventus setting a €15 million valuation amid Premier League suitors. Malu Mpasinkatu suggested that Juventus should pursue a higher-level centre-back to strengthen the group, even if initial contacts for Araujo have not materialized.

Meanwhile, outgoing rumors persist around Arkadiusz Milik, who missed the past campaign through injury. Bianconera News points to renewed Saudi Pro League interest, with the Polish striker now more open to a move given the lower physical demands.

With Comolli steering operations and the director’s influence growing while Juventus searches for a new sporting director, the Bianconeri are poised for further movement. The focus remains on shrewd investments, squad rotation, and balancing wage commitments as the market continues to evolve.
