Juventus: Dusan Vlahovic increasingly in the balance, three alternatives
Less than two months after the reopening of the soccer market, clubs are beginning to refine their strategies to strengthen their respective rosters. Among them is Juventus, which ahead of the 2025-2026 season is working to reinforce an offensive sector that this year has suffered from the inconstant return of Dusan Vlahovic and various physical problems for other players such as Arek Milik (who never took the field this season), Nico Gonzalez and Francisco Conceiçao.
The future of Vlahovic himself seems increasingly in the balance: on the Serbian, whose contract expires in June 2026, Newcastle and Manchester United have inquired, while the Arab option, with the Cristiano Ronaldo and Stefano Pioli’s Al-Nassr, has become less likely. Without a renewal agreement, however, the sale in the summer seems inevitable.
To replace him, there is no shortage of names, but there are currently three main options: Victor Osimhen, an old darling, remains at the top of the management’s notebooks, as does Lorenzo Lucca, who compared to the Nigerian seems more of a gamble, given that he has not yet played stably in a big (in Ajax he has collected just 236′ in the first team), and is in any case tempted by other clubs, such as Milan.
The news is that of an interest in Mateo Retegui, who would have “overtaken” his teammate at Atalanta, Ademola Lookman, in the preferences of Juve management. According to reports from ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, the Bianconeri club is trying to figure out whether the national team striker is willing to move as early as the end of the current year.
