Fenerbahce is increasingly likely to introduce Vlahovic, Juventus wants to poach Benfica sports director

Although Turkish media reported that Fenerbahce is trying to convince Vlahovic to join again, Italian sources reiterated that AC Milan plans to wait for the Juventus striker to join after knowing that he has no more options.

The contract between Vlahovic and the Zebra Corps expires in June 2026. So far, the Serbs have refused to cut their salary and renew their contracts, and have refused to transfer to the Saudi professional league.

On Friday afternoon local time, Türkiye's transfer expert Elsin Alberak revealed that Fenerbahce officials are holding talks with Vlahovic's representatives. They had tried to convince Vlahovic to join José Mourinho once before this summer and are now trying again.

On the other hand, Sporting Rome reiterated that AC Milan is still waiting and they have a specific strategy for the high center that Juventus has completely abandoned. They know that as the transfer window enters August, Juventus will increasingly be eager to send Fla away, which means both sides may agree to negotiate early termination of the contract.

After entering the 2025-26 season, Vlahovic's annual salary will rise to 12 million euros, which is a salary Juventus does not want to pay. At the same time, Milan also believes that Vlahovic needs to understand that he has no suitors at all, so that he can accept a much lower salary of 7 million per season.

This is a risky strategy, and it depends on Vlahovic not being convinced by any other club in the first place. Türkiye and Italian media reported that Serbian striker Vlahovic is in talks with Fenerbahce and Juventus hopes he can leave this summer.

The Zebras are reportedly eager for Vlahovic to leave the club in the current transfer window and hope that a new team will sign him in the coming weeks. The Serbian international is no longer seen as part of Juventus' long-term plan, and Toussan himself continues to refuse to sign a new contract.

Vlahovic is currently the highest-paid player in Serie A. Juventus will pay him a salary of 12 million euros in the next 12 months. This financial burden is a key reason why the club wants to send him away. Juventus initially signed him for hope that he could lead the team to major honors, however, this expected change has not come true.

Vlahovic currently intends to survive until his contract expires and then leave the Turin giants as freely, which has exacerbated the club's frustration. Juventus is eager to avoid this and therefore pushes him away when he still has market value.

Recent developments suggest that Vlahovic may now be more likely to accept transfers. According to Turkish journalist Alberak, Vla is currently negotiating with Fenerbahce. He is meeting with senior club officials, which is seeking a strategic response to Galatasaray's move to sign Osmeen this summer.

This situation marks a major change in Juventus' transfer strategy, as the club once regarded Vlahovic as the cornerstone of their future and now they intend to part ways with the striker as soon as possible to manage wage spending and reshape the team.

Il Bianconero reported that Juventus is becoming increasingly confident that Vlahovic will leave the club soon and they have informed the Serbian striker that he is no longer part of their plan to move forward.

Vlahovic's performance in the Zebras has been difficult to meet expectations. The Serbian striker is the "working emperor" of the Serie A, but his performance on the court cannot justify his high salary. The club is keen on lowering the total salary and sees the striker's departure as a necessary step.

Vlahovic's refusal to sign a new contract that would significantly reduce his salary, prompting Juventus to explore other options for his future. Currently, Vlahovic is in talks with Juventus and several interested clubs. While Tousan is only willing to transfer at a salary that matches his current income, Juventus intends to sell him for about 20 million euros.

Fenerbahce has become a powerful team to sign him in recent weeks. Although Vlahovic initially hesitated to transfer to the Turkish Super League club, ongoing negotiations bring both sides closer to reaching an agreement. He seems to be more open to the transfer now, and the deal may be reached in the near future.

Juventus is determined to finalize Vlahovic's departure in the current transfer window, and the situation is becoming increasingly urgent, and the club needs to send the striker away to balance the team and manage financial restrictions.

According to Il Bianconero, the club believes the transfer is imminent and Juventus is increasingly confident that Vlahovic will leave, indicating that things have made progress and a solution is likely to be reached before the end of the summer transfer window.

Portuguese media A Bola reported that Portuguese sports warned Juventus, Manchester City, Manchester United and other interested clubs that if they want to sign Danish midfielder Morten Yurmande, they need to pay 80 million euros in transfer fees.

Several Italian media confirmed that former Lecce midfielder Jurmand has been listed as the first choice for signings this summer by Juventus, and the Danish international is also very likely to be open to the transfer to the Turin giants.

However, Portuguese media A Bola reminded that Portuguese sports have absolutely no intention of getting their captain away at a asking price of less than 80 million euros. Jurmander is more likely to transfer to the Premier League, as wealthy Manchester United and Manchester City are also interested in him.

After weeks of bargaining, Juventus bought out Francisco Concesan in installments of 32 million euros. Portugal Sports is very clear that the Zebras will not spend 80 million on a player this summer..

Jurmande turned 26 last month and transferred from Lecce to Portugal Sports for 19.5 million euros in August 2023.

Sports Rome reported that Juventus is preparing to appoint a new sports director until September, and they have targeted Rui Pedro Braz, who is about to leave Benfica.

According to the newspaper Rome Sports on Saturday morning, Braz has said he intends to leave before the Benfica club election in October, and the Zebras hope that the Portuguese supervisor will fill their vacancy.

As for the moment, Damien Comoli will continue to be in charge of Juventus' transfer window, the newly appointed general manager will continue to control the rest of the summer market window, and technical director Modesto will be his right-hand man.

Since Juventus is not in a hurry to appoint a new sports director, Braz's time to leave Benfica is perfect. The Zebras can wait until the transfer window is over, and Comolly is responsible for the signing work before that, and then dig up the perfect candidate without market pressure.

The same report shows that if Juventus fails to ensure Braz becomes the new sports director, Genoa's Marco Ottolini will be another candidate - he has worked for the Zebras until 2022.
