Dusan Vlahovic has reportedly returned to the Juventus training centre to complete his injury recovery, but his future in Turin remains highly uncertain with Milan, Chelsea and Newcastle interested in securing his signature as a free agent.

Juventus star Vlahovic has returned to Turin to finish his recovery, according to Gazzetta.

The Serbia international underwent surgery in December and spent the following weeks in Belgrade, working with a personal fitness coach.

The ex-Fiorentina star is not expected to return to action until March.

He is still not training on the pitch, but he’ll work at Continassa alongside Juventus fitness coaches, aiming to regain full fitness for the last two months of the campaign.

Vlahovic’s contract expires at the end of the season, and talks between the two parties have been stalling for months.

Vlahovic is reportedly open to staying at Juventus, which, however, doesn’t mean he’ll accept cutting his €12m-a-year salary.

According to Calciomercato.com, Newcastle and Chelsea have recently sounded out his availability, but Milan remain interested as well.

The Rossoneri, however, are unlikely to match Vlahovic’s current salary as the Rossoneri’s highest earners are Rafael Leao and Mike Maignan, who get €7m per season.
