The situation between Dusan Vlahovic and Juventus has reached its limit. What once seemed like a dream marriage has turned into a full-blown legal and media battle.
The Serbian striker, who arrived in Turin in January 2022 for 80 million euros, does not seem willing to compromise. He wants to leave the club, yes, but only with a substantial severance package.
Juventus, on the other hand, does not intend to give in to the player's and his agents' economic demands. A real game of chicken that also involves former coach Allegri and new coach Tudor. While Milan and Al-Hilal watch with interest, the Old Lady is faced with a strategic and difficult choice.
According to La Repubblica, Vlahovic and his agents have requested a severance package of 10 million euros, equally divided between the player and his agents. A figure considered unacceptable by the new Juventus management, already committed to reducing costs and cutting commissions.
Vlahovic, with a contract worth 12 million net until 2026, does not intend to give up anything. The risk is that the club will remain "hostage" to a very heavy contract.
Milan is one of the clubs interested in Vlahovic, but there is a huge obstacle: the salary. The Rossoneri would be willing to negotiate with Juventus for the player's contract (around 25 million euros), but the 6 million offered to the striker is far from the 12 million he currently earns.
Vlahovic has already rejected a contract extension with Juventus at 8 million: it's hard to think he would accept earning half that in Milan. The situation could be unlocked if Juventus were to offer a severance package to the Serbian striker.
In Saudi Arabia, Simone Inzaghi and Al-Hilal are watching closely. After Osimhen's no, the Saudi club has turned to Vlahovic.
Money is not a problem, but in this case, the issue is the severance package: the Serbian wants the 10 million regardless of his destination. However, Juventus does not seem willing to pay to get rid of a player still under contract.
At the moment, it's a stalemate between Vlahovic and Juventus. Even Allegri, who had tried to bring the player back before his departure, was unable to patch things up.
In the absence of a solution, Vlahovic seriously risks being left in Turin as a separated player, outside of the squad.
The feeling is that this will go on for a long time, until one of the two is forced to give in. Juventus is trying to get something out of it, Vlahovic doesn't want to lose anything. A soap opera that promises many more twists and turns.
