JAKARTA - An important transfer in the Italian Serie A when two elite clubs, Juventus and AC Milan, reached an agreement on the Dusan Vlahovic striker. The Serbian national team striker will leave Juve to join Milan.
The initial or even the first meeting between Juve and Milan on the channel is thought to have gone very smoothly. The interests of the two clubs related to Vlahovic made negotiations encounter no obstacles.
Even the meeting could take place even though it did not directly involve the two teams who were both busy. Milan is currently on a pre-season tour in Asia.
Meanwhile, Juve still has to complete the extension of Federico Gatti's contract. In addition, the Bianconeri have just completed Samuel Mbangula's sale to Werder Bremen.
From that initial meeting, there was a potential for Vlahovic to move to Milan. According to Italian Football, the opportunity was indeed quite open because Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri was close to Vlahovic while still dealing with Juve.
When Allegri returned to Milan, he met Vlahovic who was negotiating with the Turkish club at the time. The meeting made Vlahovic change his mind and delay plans to go to Turkey. He chose to stay in Italy because he had the opportunity to move to Milan.
On the other hand, Juve does want to release Vlahovic. The player's salary which reaches 12 million euros each year while guiding him as one of the highest-paid players in Serie A is a heavy burden on the club. Meanwhile, Vlahovic's contract only expires in 2026.
If you don't release Vlahovic on the summer player market, then the player will have a free transfer status in December 2025. This is what makes Juve want to sell it immediately.
But the transfer depends on Vlahovic. If he is willing to cut his salary in Milan, then the transfer will not encounter any obstacles. Otherwise, Juve may still bear part of Vlahovic's salary burden.
This makes Juve have no objection to Milan's proposed price offer, which is around 18-20 million euros.

The price was well below when Juve spent 70 million euros to buy this 25-year-old striker from Fiorentina in 2022. However, the offer was good enough because Juve no longer needed to finance Vlahovic's salary.
Both Juve and Milan seem to signal an agreement to buy and sell Vlahovic. But this scenario could fail if Vlahovic gets a better offer and Juve receives it.
