Juve identify 2 alternatives if Vlahovic renewal fail

The new-look Juventus under Luciano Spalletti is beginning to take shape, and one name appears central to the coach’s long-term plans: Dušan Vlahović.

According to Calciomercato⁠, the Juventus manager has personally requested that the club secure the Serbian striker’s contract renewal ahead of next season.

Vlahović, whose current deal is set to expire next June, remains one of the most important figures in Juventus’ attack despite ongoing speculation surrounding his future.

Spalletti reportedly sees the 25-year-old as the ideal focal point for his tactical project and believes the striker can thrive in a system built around his physical presence, finishing ability, and movement inside the box.

Juventus executives are now expected to intensify talks in an effort to reach an agreement with the player and his representatives.

The club understands that keeping Vlahović would not only guarantee continuity in attack but would also send a strong signal about the ambitions of the new sporting cycle in Turin.

Juventus Already Evaluating Alternatives

While optimism remains over a possible renewal, Juventus are also preparing contingency plans in case negotiations become too complicated.

As reported by Calciomercato⁠, two names have already emerged on the club’s shortlist. The first is Alexander Sørloth, currently playing for Atlético Madrid.

The Norwegian striker is appreciated for his aerial dominance, physical strength, and ability to lead the line consistently at the highest level.

The second option is Randal Kolo Muani, who is currently at Tottenham Hotspur while still owned by Paris Saint-Germain.

The French international offers greater versatility and pace, qualities that Spalletti values highly in modern attacking systems.

Despite the interest in both players, sources close to the situation indicate that neither option currently matches the importance Juventus place on keeping Vlahović.

For now, renewing the Serbian forward’s contract remains the club’s top attacking priority heading into the summer transfer window.
