Di Marzio: Vlahovic has decided his future

Transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, speaking live on Sky Sport, revealed intriguing behind-the-scenes details about Juventus’s summer pursuit of Victor Osimhen, while also shedding light on the uncertain future of Dusan Vlahovic.

According to Di Marzio, the idea of bringing Osimhen to Turin first emerged in the spring, when former sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli explored the feasibility of the deal.

However, despite initial planning, no concrete negotiations were opened with Napoli. The scenario later evolved under Juventus’ new management structure.

With figures such as Giorgio Chiellini and executive Damien Comolli evaluating a bold proposal — a potential swap deal involving Osimhen and Vlahovic.

A Deal That Never Took Shape

Despite internal discussions, the proposed exchange never gained real traction. Napoli showed no willingness to engage in advanced talks, and perhaps more decisively, Vlahovic himself made it clear he had no intention of leaving Turin.

The Serbian striker remains firmly attached to Juventus and continues to see his future tied to the club’s ambitions. Interestingly, Di Marzio clarified that Luciano Spalletti was never in a position to reunite with Osimhen at Juventus.

At the time when the Bianconeri were considering the Nigerian striker, the club’s managerial seat was occupied by Igor Tudor, not Spalletti — making any narrative about a reunion purely hypothetical.

Vlahovic’s Future Still Open

While a swap deal is no longer on the table, Vlahovic’s contractual situation remains a topic of discussion. A meeting between his agent and the Juventus board is reportedly scheduled in the coming days.

This conversation could prove decisive in determining whether striker and club will continue their journey together.

For now, Juventus’ transfer saga highlights the delicate balance between ambition and financial strategy. The club explored high-profile options, yet ultimately remains anchored to its current cornerstone in attack — at least for the time being.
