Vlahovic injury: Juventus plan new contract talks, stay until June | OneFootball

The final verdict is expected today, the one that will definitively determine the extent of the injury and the recovery time. The answer lies with the MRI scan, which Dusan Vlahovic underwent this morning at JMedical (but the ultrasound performed on Sunday had already revealed a “muscle injury to the adductor of the left thigh”).

Vlahovic, the injury changes the scenario: he will stay at Juve until June and the club is preparing a new attempt at renewal

The injury that ended Dusan Vlahovic’s 2025 competitive season does not only affect his technical prospects, but also reshapes his contractual future. The Serbian striker, forced into a long break, will inevitably remain at Juventus at least until the end of the season: the club had no intention of selling him before, and now, with the player sidelined, a January transfer is completely out of the question.

No departure in January: scenarios postponed to February 1st

The striker’s future remains open, but any concrete discussions can only take shape from February 1st. From that moment, in fact, Vlahovic will be free to consider offers from other clubs — Juventus included — and will be able to more clearly outline his professional horizon.

Before the injury, no satisfactory offers had arrived, and now, with a medium-to-long recovery time, the situation remains frozen. The winter transfer window will not bring any upheavals: this is well understood in Turin.

Renewal still possible, but on Juventus’ terms

The Bianconeri club does not want to lose the player on a free transfer. For this reason, even though negotiations are currently at a standstill, the management will once again try to open a dialogue about renewal. As sporting director Comolli has pointed out, talks will resume at the end of the season, when both parties will have a clearer picture of their opportunities.

Juventus is willing to meet again, but only on its own financial terms, which are far from the current 12 million requested (8+4). There is room for negotiation, but a mutual approach will be needed to avoid a free transfer exit.

Foreign options and possible interest from Milan

For now, the path leading to Bayern Munich has cooled, while Barcelona could return to the market in search of a striker, although they have not yet taken concrete steps towards the Serbian.

In Serie A, a renewed interest from Milan cannot be ruled out, as they had already explored the possibility last summer. However, everything remains on hold until the player has fully recovered and his technical and financial prospects can be assessed.

A pause that changes the timing, not the value

The injury has put plans on hold, but it does not affect Vlahovic’s status within the European football scene: Juventus considers him an important technical and financial asset. The coming months will be crucial for his recovery and for understanding which direction his career will take.
