Juventus has reportedly tabled a one-year contract extension to Dusan Vlahovic carrying an €8 million salary including add-ons. The offer lands amid months of fraught negotiations between the Italian club and its star striker, whose current deal expires on June 30, 2026.
The gap between expectations and reality
The negotiations between Vlahovic’s camp and Juventus have been stuck in a kind of financial purgatory. The player’s representatives have reportedly demanded €8 million net annually as a base salary. On top of that, they’ve pushed for signing bonuses ranging between €10 million and €30 million.
Juventus, meanwhile, had previously offered approximately €6 million per year with performance-based bonuses. The club has rejected the notion that it ever put forward a substantial €8 million base contract offer, suggesting the latest proposal, which includes add-ons to reach that figure, represents a meaningful concession.
Vlahovic’s current earnings sit around €12 million net annually when loyalty bonuses are factored in. So asking the striker to accept €8 million, even with add-ons, is essentially asking him to take a significant pay cut.
