Juventus eye sensational swap deal with Bayern Munich | OneFootball

Wild rumors are currently circulating in Italy: According to the portal Bianconera, Juventus Turin is said to be planning a spectacular swap deal with FC Bayern. Accordingly, Dusan Vlahovic and Raphaël Guerreiro could swap clubs in the upcoming winter transfer window.

Juventus is reportedly already preparing intensively for the January 2026 transfer window and has identified a weakness on the left side of defense. Coach Igor Tudor is demanding full-backs who are both defensively solid and offensively dangerous. Bayern professional Guerreiro is considered the preferred solution.

In return, the Munich side could receive a new striker. Dusan Vlahovic, the 25-year-old Serbian forward, is said to be very interested in a move to the German record champions. According to reports, the striker “can very well imagine” playing for FC Bayern in the future.

However, since there is a significant difference in the market values of the two players – Guerreiro is valued at around 12 million euros according to Transfermarkt, while Vlahovic is valued at about 35 to 40 million euros – Bayern would probably have to pay an additional transfer fee if the deal were to go through.

Such a deal would, however, be highly complex. Guerreiro’s contract with FC Bayern runs until the summer of 2026, and an extension is not currently in sight. The Portuguese player, who only joined from Dortmund on a free transfer in 2023, has so far played only a minor role under Vincent Kompany.

A transfer of Vlahovic to Munich would still be a financial risk. According to Italian media, the striker is demanding a net salary of eight to nine million euros – an amount that hardly fits into FC Bayern’s current salary structure.

Moreover, the future of Munich’s attack depends largely on Harry Kane and loan striker Nicolas Jackson. Both positions are currently filled, and internally, the sporting management around Max Eberl and Christoph Freund primarily wants to further streamline the salary structure.

Therefore, it is considered unlikely that FC Bayern will actually strengthen their attack in the winter.
