Juventus market, it’s not over with Dusan Vlahovic: possible developments

His jubilation at Kalulu’s 2-2 goal with Lazio did not go unnoticed and did not appear to be that of a player who is already thinking about the future in a different jersey from his current one. The fact remains that Dusan Vlahovic, due to expire with Juventus at the end of the season, has been one of the hottest names on the European market for months. The physical problems suffered this year have certainly not reduced the interest around the Serbian striker, who remains a much sought-after profile, also thanks to the possibility of moving at zero parameter with a pre-agreement.

Barcelona sees him as the ideal candidate to open a new cycle, also in light of the ‘case’ Robert Lewandowski, who is also expiring and increasingly close to a farewell to Catalonia. Also moving on Vlahovic are Milan – with Massimiliano Allegri who would gladly re-embrace him – and Bayern Munich, who have initiated initial exploratory contacts with the player’s entourage.

The culé club sees in the Serbian, who turned 26 in recent days (sparking among other things a half-blizzard on social media for the good wishes he received from Juventus) a ready-made center forward with room for growth. Milan, on the other hand, is keeping several tables open: before a final choice is made, it wants to clarify internal evaluations on Santiago Gimenez and on the possible redemption of Füllkrug, without, however, giving up on either the Vlahovic track or the one leading precisely to Lewandowski, although the Pole will probably end up in Saudi Arabia.

Bayern, meanwhile, has increased the pressure. The Germans are pondering the future of the offensive department and considering moving early to avoid a summer auction. Harry Kane’s contract expires in 2027, a factor that makes Vlahovic a concrete and strategic option. A lunge by the Bavarians would force Barça and Milan to revise their plans.

A potential but clear domino effect arises: Lewandowski’s choices, Bayern’s decisions, and Milan’s strategies are all variables that can directly affect the Serbian’s future. At the moment there is no real favorite, but the picture remains constantly evolving.

Will Vlahovic leave Turin at the end of the season? Logic at the moment says yes.

It would take an unexpected turn of events to reopen the renewal dialogue, both on the part of the player and his entourage and on the part of the Bianconeri management, which is already planning the future of the attacker based on the outcome of the season. Can that jubilation on Sunday night provide a new impetus? More than one Old Lady fan is hoping so. “Vlahovic within a few weeks will be available again. Speech totally closed? No” noted with Sky Sport new Bianconeri sporting director Marco Ottolini. There could be new developments, with a meeting with the representatives of the’former Fiorentina.

The winter window having passed, the gaze is now turned to the summer. According to Football Insider, from the Premier League, Chelsea and Tottenham are preparing to enter the scene, ready to compete for the center forward. The Blues are looking for an offensive reference to complete the technical project, while Spurs see in Vlahovic the right profile to definitely fill the void left by Harry Kane.

On the field, meanwhile, the Luciano Spalletti-led team continues the race for a place in the top four after their elimination in the Coppa Italia against Atalanta. In the league, the Bianconeri, coming off a draw with Lazio and hooked in the standings by Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma, are approaching the derby d’Italia against Inter, scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 14, at the San Siro.
