Juventus Cool on Lewandowski as Free Agency Looms

Salary expectations clash with Serie A wage limits.

Overview

  • Juventus have pulled back after talks with agent Pini Zahavi, with reports citing the striker’s age and an €8m net salary request that exceeds the club’s roughly €7m cap.
  • AC Milan remain in the mix after Zahavi spent several days meeting clubs in Italy to test Serie A options for the 37-year-old forward.
  • Barcelona have put forward a one-year extension that includes a steep pay cut and a reduced role, with several outlets saying a decision is expected by the end of May.
  • Chicago Fire have confirmed interest and, according to Spanish reports, proposed a package worth up to €15m gross per season with bonuses.
  • Dusan Vlahovic’s stalled renewal at Juventus, with the striker open to Barcelona or Bayern and even a secondary role, is shaping Turin’s reluctance to add an older high earner.
