Juventus should not feel under pressure to keep Vlahovic

Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic are expected to resume discussions over a potential new contract in the near future, but the club appears to be entering negotiations from a weakened position. The situation is complicated by the fact that the Serbian striker could become a free agent in the summer, which would allow him to speak with other clubs once the transfer window opens next month.

This development places Juventus under significant pressure, particularly as they risk losing a key forward without receiving a transfer fee. The concern is heightened by the fact that Jonathan David has not settled into the team as quickly as anticipated, making the potential departure of Vlahovic appear even more damaging. Losing him at this stage would be a serious setback for a squad still striving for consistency and attacking efficiency.

Juventus have recently restructured its wage policy, and Vlahovic has been the player most affected by these changes. As a result, the club faces a difficult decision. They must either make a special exemption to meet his expectations or remain committed to their revised financial framework. Maintaining discipline in their wage structure is vital, as deviating from it for one individual could undermine the broader strategy that the club has put in place.
