Juventus and Vlahovic Contract Talks Stall Over Commissions

Reports from Italy indicate that five meetings have taken place between Juventus and the representatives of striker Dusan Vlahovic in an effort to finalize a new contract. However, the parties are still not in agreement regarding financial terms, most significantly, the commission fees involved.

Vlahovic’s current contract with Juventus is in its final two months, meaning he could depart the Allianz Stadium as a free agent at the end of June. He currently earns a net salary of €12 million, making him the highest-paid player in the league by a considerable margin.

Although Vlahovic’s 2025-26 season has been significantly hampered by injuries, Juventus is eager to secure his commitment to a new deal. This is particularly important given the risk of him joining a direct league rival if his contract expires next month. Milan and German club Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in his services.

According to the latest information from La Gazzetta dello Sport, five discussions have occurred between Juventus and Vlahovic’s team, led by his father, Milos. Despite these efforts, a consensus on a new contract has yet to be reached.

Vlahovic has reportedly shown openness to signing a shorter-term contract, possibly for two years. La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that a salary reduction is also a possibility, potentially to a contract structure similar to Kenan Yıldız’s, which would be around €6-€7 million per year.

Nevertheless, issues concerning ancillary costs, specifically commission fees and signing bonuses, remain unresolved, according to reports from Tuesday.

Reports in Italy indicate that five meetings have been held between Juventus and the entourage of striker Dusan Vlahovic in an attempt to reach an agreement on a new contract. However, the parties are not yet aligned on financial figures, and crucially, on commission fees.

Vlahovic is in the final two months of his Juventus contract and could potentially leave the Allianz Stadium for free at the end of June. He is currently earning a net salary of €12 million on the final year of his Juventus deal, making him by far the highest-paid player in the league.

Despite a 2025-26 season heavily impacted by injuries, Juventus remains keen to tie Vlahovic down to a new deal, especially knowing he could potentially join a direct league rival if his contract is allowed to expire next month. Milan and Bundesliga side Bayern Munich are both said to be interested.

However, according to the latest updates from La Gazzetta dello Sport, five meetings have now taken place between Juventus and Vlahovic’s camp, led by the striker’s father, Milos, but there is still no agreement in place for a new deal.

Vlahovic has reportedly shown openness to the idea of signing a relatively short-term contract, potentially for two years. La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that a salary reduction is not out of the question either, potentially to a contract structure similar to Yildiz’s, meaning between €6 million and €7 million per year.

However, issues relating to ancillary costs, specifically commission fees and signing bonuses, are still a point of contention, according to Tuesday’s reports.
