Vlahovic Restates Centrality but Contract Clouds Future

Dusan Vlahovic returned to the stat sheet versus Manchester City, scoring his first goal in a month as he had missed time with a thigh problem. It’s not a coincidence that Juventus prevailed with him on the pitch. In the past two years, their point average gets slashed in half when he’s unavailable, La Stampa informs.

The recent games without him, and his substitutes Arkadiusz Milik and Nicolas Gonzalez, who shouldn’t be out for much longer, further demonstrated his essentiality. On the other hand, there’s no certainty about his future as the extension talks are lagging.

Per La Gazzetta dello Sport, Vlahovic is no stranger to finding the target in the Champions League. He’s done it every 100 minutes in such a competition. He has often risen to the occasion when facing another top-end striker. He delivered in the meetings with Erling Haaland, Jonathan David, and Benjamin Sesko.

The Bianconeri had hoped to renew his contract by the end of 2024, but it won’t happen. The last round of talks in October didn’t lead to any progress. The matter has been shelved until next Spring, with the 2026 expiration date quickly approaching. He makes €10.5M annually and will get a €1.5M raise thanks to some bonuses, the signing and the loyalty ones, in June. The brass will focus on the transfer market in the next two months.

Our Take on Vlahovic

His performances and numbers are always graded on a curve given how much he’s been paid and earns, which is normal. His stats are just okay, which is still not up to par in that respect. But there’s time for him to click with Thiago Motta and their offense to get going.
