The Italian media is now unanimous in agreeing that Dusan Vlahovic’s Juventus career is over.

Vlahovic has not started a Serie A game for Juventus in 2025 and the final straw arrived on Friday.

The Bianconeri won 2-1 at Como, with Dusan Vlahovic an unused substitute for the entirety of the 90 minutes.

Randal Kolo Muani was signed on loan by Juve from PSG in January and has immediately become the club’s first-choice striker.

Muani has been a revelation, scoring five goals in his first three games, and Juve are already hoping to negotiate with PSG to prolong his stay in Turin either permanently or on a longer loan.

Gazzetta dello Sport, Tuttosport and others all agree that Juventus will sell Vlahovic at the end of the season.

Vlahovic’s contract in Turin expires in 2026 and Juve will do everything they can to sell the Serbian at the end of the season.

The ideal destination for Juve is Arsenal, who need a striker this summer and can afford the 24-year-old and his salary.

Juventus want to sell Vlahovic

Renewal talks over a new contract have ended between Juventus and Vlahovic.

Vlahovic is the highest-paid player in Serie A on €12 million per season and Juventus are not willing to continue paying him that much given both his underpar performances on the pitch and the club’s new policy of lowering the wage ceiling.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been a long-term fan of the 24-year-old, having failed to sign him in January 2022 when he left Fiorentina for Juventus for €80m.

Vlahovic is on Arteta’s summer shortlist to fill their vacant striker position, together with the likes of Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres and Matheus Cunha.
