The name of Dusan Vlahovic once again made headlines during the recent summer transfer window as one of the most coveted assets. Despite not being officially up for sale, Juventus opened a door: they were willing to listen to serious offers. Vlahovic, whose contract with the Vecchia Signora expires in June 2026, was offered abroad to avoid strengthening local rivals.

Vlahovic and the Villarreal Operation: An Audacious Bet

As reported by 'Calciomercato', the option with AC Milan was considered dead, and the Nápoles alternative was never real. However, Villarreal emerged forcefully as an unexpected contender. According to sources from the newspaper AS, the “Yellow Submarine” made a concrete offer after gaining initial approval from Juventus. The proposal went beyond financial aspects: it included an attractive sports project, solid technical arguments, and an emotional appeal to the past.

Villarreal pointed out that their European ranking surpassed that of Juventus and reopened the wound of their European elimination at the hands of the Spanish club —an instance in which Vlahovic actually scored his first Champions League goal with Juventus— to illustrate that the Castellon-based club was a modern and challenging option.

A Refusal with Sporting and Financial Reasons

Villarreal's move was decisive, but Dusan Vlahovic chose to decline it. He did not find the technical plan presented convincing enough to embrace the change. Additionally, the Serbian striker earns around 7 million euros net annually, a sum that few entities could match in the current market (as confirmed by his historic contract signed with Juventus).

Vlahovic's staying also reflects a personal strategy: at least until 2026, he is assured a role, a high salary, and a European platform that, according to his entourage, should be more valuable than the promise of an alternative project.

Juventus Sought a Solution outside Italy

From Turin, the institution didn't hinder negotiating his departure if a convincing offer from abroad arrived. In fact, they preferred him to leave Italy to avoid reinforcing direct rivals such as Milan or Naples. This gesture allowed foreign clubs, like Villarreal, to strongly enter the bidding. However, Vlahovic did not depart. He remained steadfast in his decision to complete his contract with Juventus and lead their defense of competitive status in Europe.

Vlahovic's Current Scoring Form at Juventus

With his stay confirmed for now, Dusan Vlahovic has responded with decisive goals this season. In the away victory against Genoa, he came off the bench and scored the only goal of the match.

This performance once again puts him in the spotlight regarding a potential transfer, as Juventus would need to resolve his situation before losing him for free in 2026. In that scenario, clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, or Bayern have already emerged as possible destinations.

A Future outside Italy?

Although the rejection of Villarreal indicates his continuation for now, the transfer market horizon keeps the question open: will he renew or be sold in winter to prevent a free departure? Juventus is already attentively considering proposals that may come next January or the following summer.

At the end of the summer market, Dusan Vlahovic reaffirmed his commitment to the Turin project… at least for now.
The story of a potential transfer rejected for sporting and financial reasons does not end here. Vlahovic continues to sow future expectations with each goal he scores for Juventus.
