Vlahovic-Juventus contract talks stall as striker awaits two European giants

Dusan Vlahovic is in no rush to finalise an agreement with Juventus, as he feels the grass might be greener elsewhere.

The Serbian’s contract will expire in less than two months, leaving his future up in the air. In recent weeks, the two parties opened a new round of talks with the player’s father, Milos Vlahovic, effectively taking over from agent Darko Ristovic.

However, an accord has yet to be reached, opening the door for alternative scenarios.

Dusan Vlahovic & Juventus contract talks have stalled

On Sunday, Vlahovic made quite a statement on his return from his latest injury setback, scoring a delightful freekick against Hellas Verona.

While this strike only rescued an unsatisfying draw for Juventus, it was enough to show the Serbian’s unwavering importance for the cause, especially with other strikers, namely Jonathan David and Lois Openda, failing to make an impact.

Therefore, La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that Vlahovic is not in a hurry to close a deal with Juventus, as he feels he could still secure more handsome terms at another top European club.

The 26-year-old is currently the highest-paid player in Serie A with a yearly net salary of €12 million. However, the Turin-based giants are ‘only’ offering him €6 million to extend his deal beyond the current campaign, as the club has recently set a new wage ceiling.
