Romeo Agresti talk about Yilidz, Kelly, Vlahovic & Luiz’s future

Romeo Agresti, the Juventus expert on all things mercato, shares key insights on the future of Kenan Yildiz, Lloyd Kelly, Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz in his latest transfer update!

Lloyd Kelly remains a name circulating in the transfer market, though Juventus is not pushing for his departure. Interest from Crystal Palace has surfaced, but discussions have only reached intermediary levels.

These contacts are still exploratory and not yet concrete negotiations. Juventus values Kelly’s versatility, especially under Igor Tudor’s tactical system, and sees him as a useful squad player. Unless a compelling offer arrives, the club appears inclined to retain him for depth.

Douglas Luiz’s time in Turin may be approaching its end. Juventus is open to letting him go if favorable conditions arise. His performances at the upcoming Club World Cup could influence potential suitors.

With Thuram and Locatelli expected to rotate in midfield, Luiz may find consistent minutes hard to come by. The Bianconeri believe the tournament presents a platform to increase his visibility and market value. A decision about his future will likely follow soon after.

Budget pressure and contract talks

Dusan Vlahovic’s future remains uncertain, largely due to financial considerations. Beginning with the 2025/2026 season, his salary will cost Juventus nearly €40 million annually.

That figure represents a heavy burden on the club’s financial structure. Juventus is not actively seeking to offload him, but a strong offer could prompt serious consideration. Like Luiz, the Club World Cup will be a pivotal moment for Vlahovic to regain form and prove his value to both Juventus and potential buyers.

After the Club World Cup, Juventus plans to intensify talks with Kenan Yildiz’s representatives. The goal is to extend his contract and align his wages with his rising importance.

Yildiz is content in Turin and has built strong relationships with his teammates and coach Tudor. He has no current plans to leave, and the club sees him as a vital part of their future project.

Stability and mutual commitment seem likely to define the next chapter of Yildiz’s journey with the Bianconeri.
