The latest on Vlahovic future and his return

There are encouraging signs from Dusan Vlahovic’s first days of rehabilitation, and his return to action could arrive earlier than expected — potentially at the beginning of March rather than later in the month.

In the meantime, the Serbian striker remains fully immersed in the Juventus environment. His celebration after the Bianconeri’s 2–2 draw against Lazio spoke volumes.

In that moment, Vlahovic showed just how emotionally invested he still is in the current Juventus project.

It was perhaps the clearest demonstration of his connection to the team, which returned to the center of his focus following the arrival of Luciano Spalletti, who immediately brought him back into the fold.

Dusan Vlahovic is still very much part of Juventus — that is how it appears and how it feels — perhaps even more so than his expiring contract, set to run out on June 30, might suggest.

The No. 9 is working diligently at Continassa to make his comeback as soon as possible. The recovery timetable could even be shortened by a few days, allowing him to return at the start of March.

Contract Situation and Future Prospects

Vlahovic will have three crucial months to prove he deserves to remain at Juventus. Although his contract expires at the end of June, the player has so far declined to engage in preliminary agreements with other clubs as a free agent, choosing instead to postpone any decision until the summer.

The club, meanwhile, will have the opportunity to assess him under the guidance of the new head coach. Given recent precedents — such as Weston McKennie and others who unexpectedly reemerged as key figures — it would be unwise to rule out the possibility that Spalletti could reintegrate Vlahovic into Juventus’ long-term plans.

The chemistry between coach and player is strong, and Vlahovic possesses attributes currently lacking in Spalletti’s tactical system.

Evaluations on Hold for Dusan Vlahovic

At present, there are no active negotiations between Dusan Vlahovic and Juventus, and it is not certain that discussions will take place before the contract expires reports Giovanni Albanese.

However, it is clear that the club spent much of January searching for a striker with characteristics similar to the Serbian forward. His return to availability could therefore provide an internal solution for the remainder of the season.

All evaluations regarding his future will be made once the campaign concludes. For now, Vlahovic has not received offers compelling enough to sway him.

Juventus, for their part, could consider keeping him under revised terms — potentially with a reduced salary and a shorter contract — freeing up resources for more substantial investments in other areas of the squad.

Vlahovic’s stance remains clear: he wants to win. And this new Juventus project provides him with strong motivation to do exactly that.
