Vlahovic's sad ending at Juventus

According to Foot Mercato , although Vlahovic's contract expires in June 2026, Juventus' board of directors has no intention of extending it and is looking to recoup part of the large investment made to recruit him.

Vlahovic joined Juventus from Fiorentina in January 2022 for a fee of up to €80 million, making him the fourth most expensive signing in the history of the mid-season transfer window. Expected to be the leader of the "Old Lady" attack for many years to come, but Vlahovic has never really met those huge expectations.

In his first half-season with Juventus, Vlahovic scored 9 goals. Then 14 goals in the 2022/23 season and 18 goals in the 2023/24 season, not bad numbers but not commensurate with the huge transfer fee and the expectations of the fans. In the current season (2024/25), he has scored 15 goals, but his form is still inconsistent and he has not had a big impact in key matches.

Vlahovic disappointed.

Vlahovic has also had some problems off the pitch, which led to punishment from former coach Thiago Motta. Things haven't improved much under new coach Igor Tudor. He ended a nine-game goal drought with a goal in a 2-0 win over Udinese, but that wasn't enough to convince the Juventus board to keep him.

With a contract that expires in one year after next summer, Juventus will have to act soon if they do not want to lose the player for free in 2026. Selling Vlahovic in the summer transfer window of 2025 would be the most feasible solution in the context of the team needing to rebuild its squad and balance its finances.

At 26, Vlahovic is still one of the strikers with great potential and is of interest to many big clubs. Meanwhile, Juventus are planning to bring Victor Osimhen to replace the Serbian player.
