Milan back in Vlahovic race as Juventus delay contract talks
Juventus have reportedly delayed contract extension talks with Dusan Vlahovic to the end of the season, reopening the door for Milan, who are also hoping to offload Christopher Nkunku to strengthen their position.
Juventus are not expected to sit down with Vlahovic’s entourage before the end of the season to discuss a contract extension, according to Gazzetta.
Juventus director Damien Comolli recently claimed that updates on the Serbia international would not come anytime soon, and the pink paper suggests that negotiations won’t resume before the end of the campaign.
