Duti: Juventus does not rule out the possibility of termination of the contract with Vlahovic early and pays him a severance fee

According to Turin Sports, Juventus does not rule out the possibility of termination of the contract with Vlahovic.

Vlahovic has been marginalized in Tudor's technical and tactical plan, which is obvious in the recent Club World Cup. In addition, the relationship between Vlahovic and the club is also in a deadlock because his high contract is about to expire in just one year, but the two sides have not yet found a consensus solution.

There is a very subtle situation between Vlahovic and Juventus, but he doesn't seem to be planning to deal with this problem head-on. While he likes Bellingham's updates after Real Madrid defeated Juventus, he proudly expressed his "ownership" of Juventus' No. 9 jersey on social media. After all, this sky-high contract was signed by both parties and is valid until June 30, 2026.

However, things are not that simple. In the next few days, Comoli will meet with Vlahovic's agent, Ristic, who is about to travel to Turin. The new Juventus general manager takes office means that all previous negotiations have been cleared, and both sides will sit back and face each other with frankness and evaluate all possible plans.

Juventus does not rule out the possibility that it will terminate the contract with Vlahovic one year in advance and pay a considerable severance payment as compensation. But it also includes another option, which is to sign a "transitional" one-year short-term contract renewal so that the club can spread the wages on the financial books, and Vlahovic can also leave the team on loan to get stable playing time in the new season, which is of great significance to him, because next season is a key season to the World Cup, which is by no means a irrelevant trivial matter.

Juventus will be more confident in this protracted tug-of-war after finalizing David, because the possibility of marginalizing Vlahovic for a whole year is now more realistic. However, even so, given that Juventus is about to pay Vlahovic an annual salary of up to 12.5 million euros after tax, it will be very difficult for the Zebras to introduce another heavyweight forward in the next few weeks, whether it is Osmeen, Retge or others.

And Vlahovic is not alone, as the situation showed when the transfer market first opened this summer. For example, Nottingham Forest was willing to bid 23 million euros to buy Via and Mbangula. Juventus was willing to accept it, but the two players slowed down the negotiation process. His agent even issued a statement with dissatisfaction and posted some intriguing content on social media. Today, Marseille has shown a strong interest in Via and has surpassed several Premier League clubs. Mbangula attracted important attention from Fulham.

As for Douglas Louis, he may be the only one who really wants to leave Juventus. The Premier League seems to be his most likely destination, and Leeds United, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and even Manchester United are paying close attention to him.
