Juventus accelerates its progress! Komoli goes to the United States to discuss contract renewal with Vlahovic, asking for a clear reply

1:36pm, 18 June 2025Football

Recently, Sky Sports in Italy revealed major news: Juventus general manager Komoli plans to go to the United States to meet with the striker Vlahovic, to start key negotiations on the renewal of the contract between the two sides, and will ask the Serbian scorer to give a clear response to the intention of renewal. This meeting is regarded as an important turning point in Juventus' transfer strategy this summer. Vlahovic's future choice will directly affect the club's subsequent signing layout.

Contract renewal negotiations are imminent, and the contract year has become a key node

24-year-old Vlahovic has quickly become the core of the team's forward line since joining Juventus in the winter window of 2022. Last season, he played in 40 games for Juventus, contributing 18 goals and 4 assists. His excellent goal-front finishing ability and fulcrum role are still an important guarantee for the team's offensive system. However, Vlahovic's existing contract will expire in the summer of 2026. If the contract renewal cannot be completed in the short term, it may not only trigger a snatch from the transfer market, but also put Juventus in a passive situation of "both people and money". Therefore, Comoli's negotiations in the United States are intended to lock in the team's core before the contract year arrives.

Comoli put forward a dual demand, seeking a certain answer

It is reported that Comoli will make two core demands to Vlahovic during this meeting: First, ask the player whether he is willing to complete the contract renewal with a "ordinary amount". This means that Juventus not only wants to retain Vlahovic, but also needs to maintain rationality in salary structure to avoid breaking the internal balance due to high-paying contract renewal; secondly, players must be required to give clear intentions for renewal. Juventus management knows that if Vlahovic's attitude towards renewing his contract is swaying, the club will have to start Plan B in advance and find alternatives in the transfer market. "Juventus' future signing strategy will be based entirely on Vlahovic's choice," a person familiar with the matter revealed. "Comoli needs a clear answer to ensure that the team's plan is not affected."

renewal or not affects the whole body. Juventus faces a key choice

Frahovic's stay and leave not only concerns Juventus' strength in the forward line, but will also stir up the pattern of the transfer market this summer. If the contract renewal is successful, the Zebras will continue to strengthen their lineup around it and strive for the qualification of the Serie A championship and Champions League next season; if the negotiations break down, Juventus will need to sell it quickly to cash out, and lock in potential replacements such as Morata and Scarmaca. It is worth noting that many teams in the Premier League and Saudi Arabia have long been eyeing Vlahovic. The generous salary and opportunities for the Champions League may become the key factors that drive players to leave the team.

At present, Juventus has not made an official response to the meeting plan, but as the transfer window opens, the negotiation results between Comoli and Vlahovic will undoubtedly become the focus of the recent football world. What will this game that concerns the team's future direction end? Fans and media are waiting for breath.
