Dusan Vlahovic’s parable at Juventus seemed destined for a slow decline, like a star losing its luster. After a phase of footballing depression under Allegri and Motta management, the Serbian returned to shine with the arrival of Igor Tudor on the bench.
Two assists in the match against Lecce have rekindled the spotlight on the number 9, but his future with the Old Lady remains a puzzle to be solved. With a contract expiring in June 2026 and a very high salary (12 million net, equal to 22 gross, the highest in Serie A ed.) the question is one: what will be the next chapter for Vlahović?
Tudor’s impact on Vlahović has been like a ray of sunshine after a long winter. The former Verona coach brought the Serbian back to the center of the Juventus project, giving him confidence and freedom to express himself.
It is no coincidence that, according to Opta data, Vlahovic has improved his statistics in terms of involvement in the game, with the average number of key passes per game up 15 percent from previous management.

The two assists in the last match are just the icing on the cake of a path of rebirth that has rekindled the enthusiasm of Juventus fans. But beware: Dusan’s talent has never been in question, if anything the context. Tudor seems to have found the key to unlocking the potential of a striker who, at 25, still has impressive margins for growth.

Looking at the European scene, examples such as Victor Osimhen show how a change in technical leadership can transform a player from “unfinished” to global star. Juventus hopes Vlahovic will follow a similar trajectory, but time is running out and the choices to be made are delicate.
Vlahovic’s contract is a puzzle that keeps the Juventus management on its toes. Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has already held talks with the player’s entourage, but the parties seem to be speaking different languages. Dusan does not like the idea of a pay cut in exchange for an extension, and who could blame him?

With a salary that makes him the highest paid player in Serie A, the Serbian knows he is a valuable pawn. However, Juventus cannot afford to go to 2026 with the risk of losing its bomber on a zero-parameter basis.

The 2025 Club World Cup, which will see Juventus among the protagonists, is the unofficial deadline for resolving the issue. According to sources close to the club, the club will try to reach an agreement by the summer.
Otherwise, the international showcase of the competition could become an opportunity to attract suitors willing to shell out at least 40 million euros, still a low figure for a striker of his caliber with a year to go. Clubs such as Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, which have shown interest in the past, could return to the fray.
Vlahović’s future is a canvas yet to be painted. Will he remain the beacon of Juventus, leading the attack to new goals, or will he be forced to look elsewhere for his consecration? The Tudor management has opened encouraging scenarios, but the market is unpredictable. Premier League teams, always hungry for talent, could see in Dusan an investment for the present and the future.
On the other hand, Juventus is working to build a competitive team, and losing Vlahovic would be like giving up a dream halfway through. The recent history of Italian soccer teaches us that great strikers often find their balance after moments of crisis.
