The Dušan Vlahović file may well be one of the attractions of the end of the transfer window in Italy. According to our information, the Turin Management, in cold with the entourage of the Serbian international for several months, plans to organize a new meeting during the weekend, at the latest Monday, to agree on the different possible scenarios when approaching the end of the transfer window. As a reminder, the majority of summer transfers windows will close on Monday, September 1, around 8 p.m. From what we have learned, the Serbian scorer normally trains at Juventus Training Center, training center based in the Continassa. Like the pre-season during which he scored 2 goals in three appearances, Vlahović does not make waves in the group of Igor Tudor.
The former Fiorentina player even took the time to make autographs and photos with the tifosi present Wednesday in a pouring rain in Turin. Eight days before the end of the transfer window, Dušan Vlahović has still not found a fall point and AC Milan, which has been the most active team on the file for 3 months, is about to pass the medical examination to Victor Boniface. And despite the arrival of the Nigerian striker in Lombardy, the Dušan Vlahović track was not completely dead on the side of San Siro. Indeed, according to our indiscretions, the discussions remain constant between AC Milan, Juventus and the entourage of Vlahović. His agent Darko Ristić was also in Milan in the middle of the week. Time also is running out for Juventus which needs funds to advance on Randal Kolo Muani.
Several knots to untie but …
According to our information, all parties are determined to keep the negotiations open until the last minute of the transfer window. Massimiliano Allegri still dreams of reworking with Dušan Vlahović after several seasons spent together at Juventus. Today, the question of the salary of the Serbian international, which earns 12 million per year, still blocks discussions, in the same way as the requirements of the Bianconeri to sell his 25 -year -old striker, under contract until June 2026, who requires 25 million euros. With a ceiling fixed at around 5 million euros net per season for the players, AC Milan finds itself faced with a abyss difficult to fill, since the Serbian striker perceives more than double to Juventus. This salary policy, designed to maintain the economic balance of the club, therefore constitutes the main obstacle to any concrete advance in negotiations. Nevertheless, the Milanese management does not exclude softening its salary grid in the coming weeks. An upward revision of this ceiling would give the Rossoneri more room for maneuver to line up, at least partially, on the requirements of Vlahovic.
In parallel, the Rossoneri could well sacrifice a player to accelerate the Vlahović file. Indeed, according to our information, AC Milan is currently testing the market for Santiago Gimenez, who arrived in Milan for 35 million euros only six months ago. With a salary of 3 million per year until 2029, AC Milan would like to get rid of the Mexican striker who does not have a profile that Massimiliano Allegri wishes for his system. By releasing the payroll, by recovering funds on a possible sale, while readjusting the salary policy and playing the watch, the Milanese leaders may well afford Dušan Vlahović on the Gong of the summer transfer window. Beware, however, of the last -minute competition since according to our information, the Napoli took information after the injury of Romelu Lukaku, while two Premier League clubs remain on the lookout, just like the Fenerbahçe of José Mourinho who would take advantage of the late closure of the Turkish market scheduled for September 12 to try a loan as Galatasaray had done with Victor Osimhen. In the event of failure, AC Milan has already checked the names of several rescue plans including the young Conrad Harder, as mentioned by our colleagues from the Portuguese and Italian press.
