Juventus Near Short-Term Vlahovic Extension on Reduced Wages

The move signals Juventus prefer a cheaper renewal over signing a new striker.

Overview

  • Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic are in advanced talks on a brief extension, with a meeting between his father Milos and CEO Damien Comolli expected soon.
  • The deal on the table trims his net salary from about €12 million to roughly €6–7 million per season on a one- or two-year term, with a possible signing bonus.
  • Vlahovic’s return from a 112-day adductor injury layoff helped reopen talks as Juventus eased him back into match squads.
  • Club leaders view keeping him as cost-effective because his original transfer fee has already been written off on the books.
  • Football Italia and Yahoo Sports stress Luciano Spalletti’s push to keep him and the club’s goal to wrap renewals before season’s end, while other reports say an agreement would cool links to Chelsea and Tottenham.
