Juventus, after its elimination from the Champions League, is obliged to finish among the top four at the end of the championship in order to have the economic strength to set up an important squad for next season. While waiting to know whether Luciano Spalletti will still be at the helm of the Old Lady (the club is pushing to convince him to stay), there are many talks to be had, both incoming and outgoing. The priority is Dusan Vlahovic.

The situation is clear in its essentials. The Serbian striker would like to keep his current level of engagement, while revising the contract structure and easing the burden of the maxi signing bonus agreed upon his arrival. The club, on the other hand, does not want to deviate from the new salary policy: the ceiling is set around six million annually, a parameter reiterated with the recent renewal of Kenan Yıldız.

The distances are not symbolic, but neither are they irremediable. Vlahovic, free to look around, has chosen to freeze any proposal to grant priority to Juventus. A non-trivial signal at a time when the market always offers alternatives. On the other hand, the management knows that retaining the number nine on sustainable terms would mean avoiding a heavy investment to replace him.

Contemporaneously, after armoring Kenan Yildiz and joker Weston McKennie, here would be a new target for the summer, namely Leon Goretzka. Currently at Bayern Munich, he will soon be released. A major opportunity that Juventus would be considering.

.

Obviously, before any purchase, thought will be given to thinning out the squad. So many players who have not convinced and could be put on the market. Among them would be, at the moment, Jonathan David and Lois Openda. The two strikers, so far, have definitely disappointed.
