Dušan Vlahović's contract with Juventus runs until 2026, but to avoid losing him for free, the club is prepared to sell him next summer if a contract extension cannot be agreed upon.

Details: Juventus is ready to open negotiations for a new contract with Vlahović soon. Some reports suggest these discussions could happen in the coming weeks, while others indicate they may take place in January.
The Serbian striker is one of the highest-paid players in Serie A and also receives significant bonuses included in his current deal. These bonuses are expected to increase season by season, and a new contract could help the club spread these costs over several years.
While Vlahović's contract is an important topic for Juventus, it is not their immediate priority. The club is currently more focused on finding a replacement for the injured Gleison Bremer.
Vlahović’s current deal runs until the summer of 2026, and knowing that he will enter the final year of his contract next summer, Juventus may consider selling him if no agreement is reached for an extension in the coming months.
The Bianconeri are keen to avoid a situation similar to the one with Federico Chiesa, who was left out of the squad last summer when he had just one year remaining on his contract, Corriere dello Sport reports.
