Juventus weigh Vlahovic contract renewal with Spalletti key to striker’s future

Dusan Vlahovic’s renaissance under Luciano Spalletti has re-opened discussions about his Juventus future, with the club preparing to resume negotiations over a possible contract renewal.

The Serbian forward is entering a critical phase, from February 1, he will be free to sign a pre-contract with another club, but Juventus are planning to open talks in the coming weeks.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Spalletti’s arrival has changed the tone, restoring Vlahovic’s confidence and central role after a turbulent period under Igor Tudor.

Spalletti’s tactical system may help the Serbian rediscover his sharpness and leadership, with both men publicly hinting at a shared desire to continue together.

Juventus view the coach’s influence as decisive, while financial constraints remain a factor.

The Bianconeri must balance UEFA’s Financial Fair Play parameters, and Vlahovic’s current €12m-per-year contract, agreed under his previous deal, exceeds the new internal salary cap of around €6m. One proposal could see a lower base wage with gradual increases tied to performance and longevity, mirroring his earlier “rising” structure.

Interest from Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester United remains strong, but Vlahovic is reportedly settled in Turin and motivated by Spalletti’s long-term project.
