Milan given Vlahovic boost as Juventus postpone negotiations
Juventus have decided to delay any decision regarding the future of Dusan Vlahovic, opening the door for Milan to pounce.
The 26-year-old is currently running on an expiring contract, so heās already eligible to negotiate with any other club and even sign a pre-contract agreement ahead of a summer free transfer.
While this was expected to be the case a few months ago, Vlahovic and Juventus decided to revive their renewal talks in recent weeks.
The Serbian bomber is currently the highest-paid player in Serie A, with a yearly net salary of ā¬12 million. Nevertheless, he is said to be open to halving his wages to prolong his time in Turin.
But while talks between the two parties were seemingly on the right track, the strikerās recent injury setback has raised some question marks regarding his physical condition.
Vlahovic spent almost four months on the sidelines nursing an adductor injury. He made his return to action last month in a brief cameo against Sassuolo, only to hurt his calf during the warm-ups against Genoa.
