🤑 Vlahovic's €12m demands stall move, Milan keen but Juve may keep him | OneFootball

Just days before the start of the new Serie A, the transfer market enters its hottest week.

Lukaku's injury has forced Napoli to return to the market to secure a top-level forward, bringing back into the spotlight a name that has been much discussed in recent weeks: Dusan Vlahovic, a forward leaving Juventus and also followed by Milan.

At the moment, however, no concrete negotiations are underway with the Azzurri club: the Neapolitan sporting director has merely drawn up a list of suitable profiles to replace Big Rom, and the Serbian's name remains more of an option than a certainty.

💰 Tare doesn't give up on Dusan, but the cost...

As mentioned, Vlahovic has been much talked about in recent weeks in relation to Milan. Tare was candid in calling him "an option," but the class of 2000 has always seemed more of an alternative than a first choice, valid yes, but almost impractical given the costs of the operation - this week it will be known if there is room to unlock it.

It's useless to deny the obvious. Everything revolves around the 12 million net salary that Vlahovic will receive by staying this last year at Juventus. An enormous figure that no other club is ready to offer him, but above all, one that Dusan has no intention of giving up. So how does this situation get unlocked?

🔚 Vlahovic-Juve, farewell postponed?

This is precisely the issue: it doesn't get unlocked. Vlahovic and Juventus, barring any dramatic twists in these last days of the transfer market, seem to have accepted the possibility of staying together for a while longer.

During the preseason, Tudor managed the Serbian as if there were no open market case, and Vlahovic repaid with 3 goals in 4 friendlies, showing professionalism and a desire to be ready for the start of the championship.

Sure, the performances haven't always been impeccable, and the boos received at the Stadium during the match against Next Gen didn't go unnoticed, but the 25-year-old has shown over the years to have a real armor and is ready to wear it for the coming months - at least six.

🎯 Kolo Muani-David-Vlahovic: Tudor has a "problem"

According to Tuttosport, in fact, the idea of staying at least another semester at Juventus has already matured in the Serbian's mind. Comolli reiterated a few weeks ago: "Without an offer, he stays here," and this scenario seems to be clearly emerging in the last days of the transfer market.

No "serious" offers have arrived, Dusan has no intention of settling, and the fierce competition in attack doesn't seem to worry him. Making Kolo Muani (his return is imminent), David, and Vlahovic coexist will not be his task. The hot potato now passes into Tudor's hands: having three such forwards in the squad must be a (wonderful) problem.
