Luciano Spalletti is determined to build the future of Juventus around Dusan Vlahovic, with the Italian coach reportedly insisting that the Serbian striker must remain at the club beyond this season.
According to Sportmediaset, Spalletti considers Vlahovic one of the key pillars for Juventus’ long-term project and is continuing to push the club’s management to secure a contract renewal as soon as possible.

Vlahovic’s current deal is set to expire on June 30, and the situation has naturally attracted attention across Europe.
Despite recent speculation linking the Serbian international with a possible move away from Turin, Juventus are not giving up hope of reaching an agreement with their star forward.
A crucial meeting between the club and the player’s representatives is expected to take place later this week, where both parties will discuss the striker’s future in detail.
Juventus Still Hopeful of Reaching an Agreement
The main obstacle remains financial terms. Reports suggest that Vlahovic’s entourage is demanding a higher salary package than the one currently offered by Juventus.
However, negotiations are still ongoing, and there is growing belief inside the club that a compromise could eventually be reached.
One important factor working in Juventus’ favor is the apparent lack of major financial proposals from rival clubs at this stage.

Spalletti reportedly views Vlahovic as essential not only for his goalscoring ability, but also for his leadership and experience despite still being only 25 years old.
The Serbian striker remains one of the most recognizable figures in Juventus’ attack, and the coach believes losing him would force the club into another major rebuilding phase.
Decision Expected Soon
With the summer transfer window approaching quickly, Juventus are eager to resolve the situation before uncertainty grows further.
The coming days are expected to be decisive, as both the club and the player look to determine whether their future will continue together in Turin.
