Vlahović plans to secure a free transfer next summer with a €10 million signing bonus and salary; Inter Milan shows interest.

Many fans criticize players with unreasonably high salaries, but since these contracts were signed by the players themselves, they have to honor them, sometimes reluctantly, such as Chelsea's Sterling, Manchester United's Sancho, and Juventus' Vlahović. Juventus wanted to sell Vlahović this summer, but the player refuses to leave because this Serbian striker earns a net salary of €12 million, a figure impossible to match elsewhere. This means Vlahović is set to fulfill his contract with Juventus until summer 2026.

According to the latest report from Italian media outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist and Juventus correspondent Fabiana Della Valle, Vlahović will complete his final season at Juventus and become a free agent next summer. He hopes to receive a €10 million signing fee and a net annual salary of €10 million from his next club, and Inter Milan has already made contact with him.

Juventus has already signed David on a free transfer this summer with a net salary of €6 million, preparing for Vlahović’s free departure next summer. However, it will still be difficult for Inter Milan to sign Vlahović on a free next summer because he prioritizes money. While a €10 million signing fee for a player valued at €35 million is reasonable, meeting his €10 million net annual salary demand is challenging, especially since Inter’s highest earner, Lautaro, receives a net salary of €9 million.

Juventus’s only hope now is to convince Vlahović to leave during the winter transfer window. With the arrival of Opoku, Vlahović’s playing time at Juventus has decreased further. Since next year is a World Cup year, if Vlahović does not play regularly for his club, his spot on the Serbian national team may be at risk. His ability is decent but not outstanding, and Serie A is the only top league where he has a market. Inter Milan might be Vlahović’s next destination, as the Nerazzurri are in need of a striker.
