Vlahovic eager for new Juventus contract, but significant problems remain Dusan Vlahovic will be a free agent on July 1 unless he agrees a new contract with Juventus, but there are two big problems stalling negotiations. The striker recently returned from a long injury lay-off and remains eager to extend his stay in Turin, despite no shortage of other clubs interested in his services. Those include Milan, where heโ€™d reunite with Max Allegri, Arsenal and potentially also teams in Spain.

It is hoped they can do a deal for a reduced salary of โ‚ฌ6-7m per season from the current โ‚ฌ12m including add-ons.

The biggest issue seems to be that agent Darko Ristic wants a significant commission if he is to organise this contract, seeing as he would earn a lot more if shopping Vlahovic to other clubs. Juventus hope that the arrival of father Milos Vlahovic at the negotiating table will help smooth things over and reach a compromise.
