Doubts mount as Juventus weigh Vlahovic exit | OneFootball

Juventus continue to face mounting questions over Dusan Vlahovic’s immediate future, with multiple clubs monitoring the striker’s situation and transfer talks intensifying across Serie A, according to reporting from Tutto Juve and Bianconera News.

Interest in Vlahovic appears to be increasing, particularly from within Italy. Journalist Paolo Paganini revealed that Giovanni Manna—now Napoli’s sporting director—held discussions yesterday with the Vlahovic camp. Napoli, adjusting their forward options after the prospective exit of Mateo Retegui and amid strong competition for Lorenzo Lucca, are considering Vlahovic as an alternative target. Paganini also reports that AC Milan have shown advanced interest in the striker.

However, Milan’s faith in the potential of a move for Vlahovic has been met with some measured analysis from notable figures within Italian football. Former midfielder Demetrio Albertini, speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport via Bianconera News, commented, "The Vlahovic of Florence is a player you take without a second thought, but clearly his spell at Juventus gives anyone cause for reflection. Personally, I still believe if you put him in the right conditions he can do very well, because he has the quality, even if I’m not sure what happened during his time in Turin."

The uncertainty is compounded by Juventus’ parallel pursuit of Randal Kolo Muani. Reports from Tutto Juve suggest the Bianconeri are pushing to finalize an agreement for the French forward by the end of July, considering Kolo Muani a priority to strengthen their attack. This move could be a clear signal that Juventus are preparing for a possible departure of Vlahovic, or at minimum seeking greater flexibility up front.

Meanwhile, English clubs remain attentive. Tutto Juve notes that meetings are scheduled next week between Vlahovic’s representatives and both Manchester United and Arsenal, who are closely monitoring the striker’s situation should he become available under favorable terms. While no formal offers have been reported, the interest from the Premier League adds further unpredictability to Juventus’ planning.

The outcome of these talks will likely influence not only Vlahovic’s next step but also Juventus’ broader attacking strategy, as their transfer market business hinges on both incoming and outgoing movement. With the club juggling several negotiations, Vlahovic’s case remains one of the most significant unresolved issues of the summer.
