Juventus market, three are vying for Dusan Vlahovic: domino effect is triggered

Dusan Vlahovic, whose contract with Juventus expires at the end of the season, has been one of the most sought-after profiles on the European market for some time now, despite his physical problems this year. Barcelona sees him as Robert Lewandowski&#8217s ideal heir, while AC Milan and Bayern Munich have already been sounding out the field in recent weeks. The possibility of signing him on a zero-parameter basis, with a pre-agreement that could also be made official in these weeks, has kicked off a plot involving three clubs with different needs but the same goal.

Barça sees in Vlahovic, who turned 26 on Wednesday, the perfect center forward to open a new cycle, especially given the’uncertainty related to Lewandowski&#8217s future. The Pole is also on a contract expiration date, and the lack of further stimulation in the Blaugrana leads one to think that his adventure in Catalonia will end with a handshake right on June 30. This is where Milan fits in, which, while waiting to give a final assessment on Santiago Gimenez and figure out whether it will be convenient to redeem Füllkrug, has by no means closed the Lewandowski chapter but also does not want to give up on the Vlahovic’hypothesis.

In this already complex scenario also fits Bayern Munich, which in recent weeks has intensified contacts with the Serb’s entourage. The Bavarians are considering getting ahead of the competition, especially in view of internal reflections on the future of the offensive department (Harry Kane&#8217s contract expires in June 2027, Marmoush&#8217s transfer from Manchester City has now faded). Bayern’s interest adds another layer to the entanglement: should the Germans sink in, they could push Barcelona and Milan to recalibrate their strategies.

The domino effect, though only potential at the moment, is clear: Lewandowski’s decision, Bayern’s evaluations, and Milan’s moves may influence the fate of Dusan Vlahovic and that of the suitors. The Serbian remains at the center of a market triangle that could unlock at any moment, but which currently has no real favorite.

What seems certain by now is that Vlahovic will leave Juventus at the end of the season.

A resounding turnaround will be needed, in fact, to change the mind of both the player and his staff and the Bianconeri management, which will study in the coming months, depending on how the season ends, new strategies related to the offensive sector.
