Dusan Vlahovic is slated to become a free agent starting July 1st. While discussions with Juventus regarding a new contract are ongoing, reports indicate that an intermediary has proposed the Serbian striker to Atletico Madrid.
The striker, in agreement with his current club, has delayed these decisions until the season’s conclusion, potentially allowing him to depart on a free transfer this summer. Negotiations for an extension are reportedly facing hurdles, primarily due to Vlahovic’s salary demands of €8 million per season, which Juventus finds difficult to meet, offering instead a maximum of €6 million.
This proposed salary is significantly lower than his current earnings in Turin, reflecting a different financial climate when his previous contract was agreed upon. Vlahovic is a sought-after player, with several clubs, including Milan, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Arsenal, reportedly interested in securing his services.
The latest club linked with Vlahovic is Atletico Madrid. It is understood that a transfer intermediary has approached the Spanish outfit, presenting Vlahovic as a potential free agent acquisition. Another factor complicating his potential stay at Juventus is the significant commission his representatives would expect for orchestrating a deal, a sum they would be more likely to secure by marketing him to other clubs.

Dusan Vlahovic is set to become a free agent on July 1st. While talks with Juventus for a new contract are underway, it’s reported that an intermediary has offered him to Atletico Madrid. The striker has postponed decisions until the end of the season, as agreed with his club, which could allow him to leave for free in the summer. Negotiations for an extension are reportedly experiencing difficulties, with Vlahovic seeking €8 million per season and Juventus offering around €6 million. This figure is half of his current salary in Turin, a contract signed during a different financial period for the club. Numerous other clubs are keen on the Serbian striker, including Milan, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Arsenal. Atletico Madrid has recently been mentioned, with suggestions that a transfer intermediary contacted the Spanish team to propose Vlahovic as a free agent. Another impediment to him signing with Juventus is the large commission his entourage would demand to finalize the deal, a commission they would more readily receive by exploring offers from other teams.
