Vlahovic’s Transfer Strategy: Fenerbahce, Juventus, and AC Milan in 2025

Football & Cricket

Reports from Turkey indicate that Fenerbahce is making another attempt to sign Dusan Vlahovic, while Italian outlets confirm AC Milan`s strategy to observe the ongoing situation at Juventus before making a move.

Vlahovic`s current contract is set to conclude in June 2026, and he has consistently rejected offers for a reduced salary extension or a transfer to the Saudi Pro League.

Earlier today, Turkish transfer expert Ersin Albayrak reported that representatives from Fenerbahce were engaged in discussions with Vlahovic`s agents in Bodrum.

Fenerbahce, alongside coach Jose Mourinho, had previously attempted to secure Vlahovic`s services this summer and are now renewing their efforts.

Conversely, Corriere dello Sport reiterates AC Milan`s patient approach, highlighting their distinct strategy regarding the Serbian international.

Milan anticipates that as August approaches, Juventus will become increasingly eager to offload Vlahovic, potentially even considering a mutual contract termination.

This urgency stems from Vlahovic`s contract, which is structured to increase his salary to a significant €12 million per season in 2025-26, a sum Juventus is keen to avoid paying.

Simultaneously, AC Milan believes Vlahovic must recognize the limited viable alternatives before he considers accepting their proposed significantly lower salary of €7 million per season.

This strategy carries inherent risks, as its success hinges on the Serbian striker not being swayed by any other offers.
