The Serbian striker failed to reach an agreement last autumn for a contract renewal, with his current deal expiring in 2026. In the meantime, the club has decided to focus on other players, reducing the former Fiorentina man to a secondary role — as also seen in the Club World Cup debut. Milan, and especially Max Allegri, are keeping an eye on the situation and exploring the intentions of the player and his entourage.
This morning’s edition of Tuttosport attempts to clarify Dusan Vlahovic’s situation. There is no shortage of interest in Juventus’ number 9. Both in January and in recent days, Mourinho’s Fenerbahce made a move, offering to pay his €12 million salary — the same he currently earns. The issue is that the Serbian striker does not like the destination: it’s not so much the club itself but the league. Vlahovic wants to stay in one of Europe’s top leagues. For the same reason, he has also turned down approaches from Saudi clubs for now. Despite the higher wages on offer, the forward is not ready to take the “Saudi gold” route.
Even though the Premier League could come into play later on — especially as a last-minute opportunity like what happened with Chiesa last year — according to Tuttosport, Vlahovic’s preferred destination today is Milan. And the reason for this is clear: Massimiliano Allegri. With the Rossoneri, Dusan would remain at a high level and reunite with a coach he knows very well. However, obstacles remain. Milan would be willing to offer around €20 million with just one year left on his contract — a potential opportunity for Juventus. The problem lies in the player’s salary demands. With a request for a double-digit (million) salary, Milan won’t even start negotiations. However, if Vlahovic’s entourage accepted a 4-year deal at €7–8 million per season, discussions could begin, as relayed via Milannews.it.
