Dusan Vlahovic situation at Juventus is becoming increasingly tense. According to Giovanni Albanese, the club sees the Serbian striker as expendable due to his massive wages. His €12 million gross salary is proving unsustainable for the club’s financial strategy.
Juventus is actively working to offload Vlahovic in the current transfer window. However, the 24-year-old striker remains determined to stay in Turin and fulfill his contract. His refusal to accept offers complicates the Bianconeri’s plans, particularly with Financial Fair Play regulations tightening.

The danger for Juventus is real: if they fail to sell him this summer, they risk losing him for free later. Moreover, his heavy salary could block incoming transfers.
The club is now even evaluating the drastic measure of excluding him from the squad. This move would mirror the one used on Federico Chiesa earlier in the year.

Jonathan David is waiting …

Juventus already has a potential successor lined up. Canadian forward Jonathan David, who becomes a free agent on July 1st, is close to joining the club. The deal is nearly finalized, but one major hurdle remains—offloading Vlahovic and his high salary.
Until Vlahovic’s situation is resolved, David’s arrival stays on hold. Juventus needs to balance the books before making any significant additions. David is seen as a perfect fit for the club’s evolving style and budget-conscious direction.
If neither exit nor arrival happens soon, Kolo Muani may remain stuck in limbo, affecting multiple clubs’ strategies.
As the days go by, Juventus finds itself walking a financial tightrope. Decisions must be made quickly. But forcing a player out could create deeper internal issues. The Vlahovic saga, still unfolding, might define Juventus’ entire summer mercato.
