Vlahovic could keep Juventus and Besiktas waiting for another 6 weeks | OneFootball

Besiktas are trying everything to convince Dusan Vlahovic, including calls from Vincenzo Italiano, but he reportedly told them he might not make a decision until late July, waiting for Juventus and others.

The striker will be a free agent next week when his current contract runs down, and had been expecting to be inundated with proposals from clubs around Europe.

Instead, the only genuine alternative to a new deal at Juventus would seem to be Besiktas.

Vlahovic expected more offers

There were suggestions that the Turkish club is ready to invest around €30m between salary, signing on bonus and commission fees to his agents, with wages of €10m per season.

However, Sports Digitale note today that Vlahovic remains unmoved and is in absolutely no rush to make a decision, even if it takes until late July.

It remains to be seen if Besiktas will be ready to wait that long, especially as new coach Italiano worked with him at Fiorentina and has been bombarding him with calls to discuss the project.

The Serbia international is only 26 years old and Juventus had paid €85m to get him from Fiorentina in January 2022, so even after a serious injury, he was expecting more interest.

The longer this goes on, the more hope Juve will have that he’ll reconsider their €8m per season renewal proposal.
