Juventus and Dušan Vlahović are caught in a never-ending football drama that just won’t quit! The Turin giants reportedly no longer want the Serbian striker in the club, and the reason? His whopping €12 million annual salary that he refuses to cut. The club tried to offer him a new contract with a lower salary, but his agents flat-out rejected it. Earlier, Juventus demanded €60 to €70 million for Vlahović, but now they supposedly want to get rid of his salary burden, which sounds like total chaos and nonsense. Loaning him out isn’t an option because the club wouldn’t get any money, and selling him for €30 to €40 million seems more realistic, but nothing is moving.
The situation got messier because Vlahović is reportedly upset about being downgraded by coach Igor Tudor, who started him only once in the last four matches. Still, the Serbian striker remains pretty calm despite the pressure and threats from the stands. Other European clubs are circling, like AC Milan, offering around €6 million per year, plus Manchester United and Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal, who can pay the most, but Vlahović has already turned down Fenerbahçe’s offer.
Simone Inzaghi, Al Hilal’s new coach, even contacted Aleksandar Mitrović because he doesn’t see Mitrović in the starting eleven and wants to sign Vlahović instead. However, at 25, Vlahović doesn’t want to move to Saudi Arabia, even though he could earn the most there. All in all, the drama around Dušan Vlahović and Juventus is far from over, and fans and media keep speculating about his future. Will Juventus finally give in, or will Vlahović remain trapped in this football chaos? Only time will tell.
