Dusan Vlahovic not interested in joining Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce as Juventus fear lack of offers amid contract standoff with striker

According to a report from Gazetta dello Sport, Vlahovic has rejected the chance to join Fenerbahce, while Juventus grow increasingly concerned over the lack of serious offers for the Serbian striker. The 25-year-old has shown no intention of renewing his agreement or leaving this summer; he is under contract with the Bianconeri until 2026.

Vlahovic reportedly plans to see out his current contract and leave on a free transfer next year, complicating Juventus' plans to cash in on the forward during the transfer window. The club have looked at a possible replacement; Victor Osimhen is a top option, but a sale of Vlahovic is absolutely essential to pay for that move.

Juventus paid around €80 million (£68m/$86m) for Vlahovic in January 2022 but are now facing the risk of losing him for nothing in 2026. The club wants to extend his contract but only under reduced terms, cutting his salary from €12m (£10m/$13m) to €8m (£7m/$9m) per season. Vlahovic and his advisers have refused to discuss anything so far.

With offers from top-tier European clubs lacking and Vlahovic uninterested in a move to Turkey, Juventus are in a tough position as they attempt to restructure their squad.

In the 2024-25 season, Vlahovic made 42 appearances for Juventus and managed to score 15 goals and five assists across all competitions.

Juventus will undertake crucial negotiations with Vlahovic's agent, Darko Ristic, in the coming weeks. Unless the striker agrees to a move or an extension, the club may be forced to keep him without a guarantee of future transfer income.
