Juventus and Vlahovic Contract Talks Stall Over Fees

Despite multiple discussions, Juventus and the representatives of striker Dusan Vlahovic have yet to reach an agreement on a new contract. Five meetings have taken place, but significant differences persist regarding salary figures and, crucially, commission fees.

Vlahovic’s current contract with Juventus is nearing its end, with his deal set to expire at the close of June. He is currently the highest-earning player in Serie A, with a net salary of €12 million in his final contract year.

Although Vlahovic’s 2025-26 season has been hampered by injuries, Juventus remains eager to secure his future with a new deal. This urgency stems from the risk of losing him for free, potentially to a direct league competitor. Both AC Milan and Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in the Serbian international.

However, according to recent reports, the five meetings held between Juventus officials and Vlahovic’s camp, headed by his father Milos, have not yielded a breakthrough.

Vlahovic has reportedly indicated openness to signing a shorter-term contract, possibly for two years. There’s also a possibility of a salary adjustment, with figures around €6-7 million per year, similar to Kenan Yıldız’s contract, being discussed.

Nevertheless, the primary obstacles remain related to ancillary costs, specifically commission fees and signing bonuses, according to the latest reports.
