Juventus Boss Speaks Out on Vlahovic’s Uncertain Future

Juventus manager Igor Tudor has hinted that striker Dušan Vlahović could still leave the club before the transfer window closes. He said the player is focused but that the coming week will be decisive for his future.

WHAT HAPPENED

Tudor addressed the media and commented on the ongoing speculation around Vlahović. He emphasized that the Serbian forward is focused and committed as a Juventus player for now. But he did not close the door on a possible transfer during the final days of the transfer window. The coming week will be crucial with several top clubs reportedly monitoring Vlahović’s situation.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Vlahović has faced an uncertain summer. Reports suggest he is open to leaving Juventus, given the club’s interest in reshaping their attack. His current contract expires in 2026. Negotiations have been complicated by his high wages. However, the striker is now prepared to lower his salary demands to facilitate a move. AC Milan is the club most closely linked with him but there is still work to do to reach a financial agreement. Last season, Vlahović scored 16 goals in Serie A, helping Juventus finish fourth and qualify for the Champions League.

WHAT NEXT FOR JUVENTUS AND VLAHOVIĆ?

With the transfer window closing next week, all eyes are on whether an agreement will be found. Juventus started their current campaign with a 2-0 away win against Parma and now sit top of the table after the opening weekend. Their next match is against Genoa, who struggled last season and finished mid-table. AC Milan, the main rival for Vlahović’s signature, started the season with a surprising loss to newly promoted Cremonese and need urgent attacking reinforcements. The coming days will be key for all parties, as Vlahović’s decision could impact the rest of Juventus’s campaign and the wider Serie A landscape.
