The Serbian will not renew the contract expiring in 2026 and in the summer it will be sold. Three profiles beaten by the bianconeri. With a possible surprise …
I start again from … three. Failure to renew the contract expiring 2026 will force Juve to yield Dusan Vlahovic in the next summer. The bianconeri, in fact, cannot afford to lose the Serbian to zero after spent for him, between costs for the transfer (including accessory charges and bonuses) and salary, over 130 million in exactly three years. The positive aspect, however, is that in June the attacker will be in the budget only for about 20 million, so the bianconeri should be able to avoid a minute. But who would be his possible substitute in the Juventus attack next year? There are three (plus one), in fact, the attentive profiles.
After-Vlahovic, Giuntoli’s favorite
–
The ball of the white dt Cristiano Giuntoli is called Victor Osimhen. In fact, it was he in the summer of 2020 who brought him to Naples from Lille for 70 million overall. Five years later, the Juventus manager hopes to gather with the Nigerian striker, who, in the meantime, has ended up on loan to Galatasaray. In Turkey Osi he returned to score in burst (16 goals in 20 appearances between the championship and the Europa League), but his contractual situation is tangled: to leave Naples the center forward who made the dream of the third blue championship possible had to accept to grant to grant At the De Laurentiis club the unilateral option to extend the contract expiring in 2026 by a year, however obtaining the figure of the termination clause in exchange for 80 million. Which, however, would not be valid for Italy. To embrace the 26 -year -old striker, therefore, Giuntoli should deal with Napoli. And in itself it would not be easy. In addition, given that the new Juventus course has set the roof for the net engagements to about 5 million, there would be also to convince the Nigerian to review his current salary, which, after the renewal of a year ago with the Azzurri, arrived to 11 million net per year.
Zirkzee, Motta’s favorite for the after-vlahovic
–
If, on the other hand, Thiago Motta, to whom Juve entrusted the three -year relaunch project, would decide, there would be no doubt: the place of Dusan Vlahovic would be taken by Joshua Zirkzee. The Dutchman, as demonstrated last year in Bologna, is the perfect center forward prototype for the game of the Italian-Brazilian technician who would not wait to be able to get him back with him. It had already been talked about for January, but the resistance of Manchester United and the neo -technic Amorim made the choice of Giuntoli on Kolo Muani Virgin on loan from PSG. In the meantime, however, JZ’s situation in Old Trafford does not seem to have changed: just 2 departures as a starter in the last 6 games between Premier, Fa Cup and Europa League and no scored goal. The Dutchman, 24 years old, cost 40 million last summer and linked to the Red Devils by a 3.5 million contract plus bonuses per season until 2029, would be economically sustainable also for the new Juve course.
Jonathan David, the opportunity to zero
–
Finally, there is another name that has been on the list of Giuntoli for a couple of years: the Canadian Jonathan David del Lilla, which will vinculate in the next summer. Twenty -five years, average of almost one goal every two games in France (102 in 214 appearances with Les dogues), the North American center forward wants to jump forward in his career. David asks for a salary not too onerous (about 5 million), but on him the competition will be ruthless and there is a risk of an upward auction: the opportunity to take it for free swallows many, Bayern Munich and Barcelona above all. Bavarian and Catalans, in fact, need, in perspective, to replace the two attackers over the year -olds Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane.
What if in the end remained like this?
–
Although difficult, there is also another scenario that cannot be excluded: that Juve, that is, try to hold back Kolo Muani from PSG after the current loan. The Frenchman cost 75 million (plus 15 of bonuses) to the Parisian club, so in June he will still be in the balance sheet for a figure around 50 million (depending on how many bonuses they will have been accrued). In addition, his 5 million net salary per year would fall into the new Juventus parameters. The debut with goals at the “Maradona” was an excellent signal, if it continues so you cannot discard the hypothesis that Juve decides to start from him. In any case, between the sale of Vlahovic and the search for the substitute, the summer for the bianconeri will have many negotiations … in store.
