Dusan Vlahovic continues to be caught in one of the most unexpected situations in the European market. It has been over two weeks since his contract with Juventus de Turin ended, and the Serbian forward, at 26 years old, has still not chosen a destination despite being able to join any club without a transfer fee.
The forward was expecting proposals from top-tier entities, but none have fully convinced him. The most concrete option comes from Besiktas, which has put forth a significant offer to make him one of the key stars in their project.
Dusan Vlahovic hesitant about Besiktas' offer
The Turkish team has tabled a contract with a salary close to 8 million euros per season. This amount would represent an approximate decrease of 4 million compared to the nearly 12 million net he earned in his last season in Turin.
The financial difference partly explains the player's doubts. Dusan Vlahovic believes he still has the age, ability, and experience to compete in one of the top five leagues, thus keeping the door open to new offers before accepting a move to Istanbul.
Besiktas needs an answer to progress with their planning. The proposal offers stability and prominence, but the Serbian also weighs the project's sporting level.
A free agent with a challenging salary to accommodate
Being a free player makes the striker an attractive opportunity, as his new club wouldn't have to pay a transfer fee. However, his wages, potential signing bonus, and commissions significantly raise the operation's actual cost.
This situation explains why several clubs have considered his name without making a firm proposal. While there's no fee to pay to Juventus de Turin, assuming a long contract with a top-level salary can disrupt any team's wage structure.

Departure from Juventus de Turin after four and a half seasons
The forward joined the Bianconeri in January 2022 from Fiorentina. The deal was closed for 70 million euros, plus 11.6 million in additional costs and up to 10 million in variables.
His tenure ended when the agreement signed until June 30, 2026, expired. In total, he netted 68 goals and 16 assists in 168 official matches, but injuries, coaching changes, and collective inconsistencies prevented him from consistently displaying his best form.
The renewal didn't materialize due to salary differences. The Italian club proposed a significant pay cut as part of their new economic policy, while the forward was aiming to maintain a wage similar to what he earned in his last season in Serie A.
Dusan Vlahovic waiting for a higher-level sporting offer
The market progresses, and time is running short. Each week without an agreement adds pressure on a player who needs to join a pre-season soon.
The Turkish option remains on the table, but it seems not to fully meet his priorities. The forward is looking for a competitive project, playing time, and a structure that allows him to regain his form after leaving Serie A without renewing.
For now, Dusan Vlahovic keeps Besiktas waiting as he evaluates possible last-minute moves. The Serbian has the freedom to decide, but his high salary limits the market, turning what seems like a straightforward opportunity into a complex negotiation with an ongoing outcome.
