Juventus to Sell Vlahovic in January to Avoid Free Transfer

Juventus have signalled they will put striker Dusan Vlahovic up for sale in the January transfer window as they seek to avoid losing the Serbia international for nothing when his contract runs out next summer, Italian reports said, a development that has attracted renewed interest from clubs in England including Manchester United and Chelsea. The 25 year old, a reported high earner at Turin, is believed to be available this winter as Juve try to recoup transfer income rather than risk a free departure in June 2026.

Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Juventus remain determined to sell Vlahovic before his contract expires and have priced him with the aim of preventing a end of contract loss. The club's decision follows a summer of forward recruitment that brought in Jonathan David and Lois Openda, pushing Vlahovic down the pecking order and prompting questions about his long term place at the Allianz Stadium. Italian and British outlets also noted a contractual stalemate over a renewal, with Juventus having offered terms the player did not accept as part of broader efforts to trim the wage bill.
