Juventus becoming optimistic over chances of a renewal with Dusan Vlahovic

Dusan Vlahovic looked almost certain to leave Juventus at the start of this season, as contract renewal looked hopeless. Juventus simply couldn’t meet his wage demands so instead they signed replacements. Jonathan David and Lois Openda where bought in who were seen as new starting strikers.

But, both have struggled to hit the ground running for Juventus this campaign struggling to provide goals. Jonathan David will likely stay in Turin as he has been the main starter for Luciano Spalletti. Openda however, will likely leave Turin which could have the Bianconeri back to square one in there replacement search.

Expect for the fact that they may not have to replace Vlahovic at all as he could stay in Turin. This came as Vlahovic suffered an abductor injury for Juventus in November of last season, which saw him miss 21 games. Europe’s big clubs like AC Milan, bayern and Chelsea who did want to sign Vlahovic all lost interest while he wasn’t playing due to injury.

Corriere Dello Sport is now reporting that Juventus will have a fresh set of talks with Vlahovic is they aim to keep him in Turin. However, the deal is not as straightforward as it soons as they two parties still have disagreements. Mainly over salary as Dusan wants 12 million euros per season to stay.

Juventus are hoping to pay Vlahovic closer to a six million euro per season sum. This would put him on par with both Jonathan David and Kenan Yildiz despite him being a favourite of Luciano Spalletti’s. Vlahovic will have to decide soon if he is willing to stay with Juventus a figure nearly half of his asking price or make a move elsewhere, before it is too late.
