Il Giornale: Milan vigilant as Juventus agree to slash price tag of Vlahovic

Juventus are desperately trying to offload Dusan Vlahovic and according to a report, they have agreed to slash the striker’s price tag in order to facilitate a transfer. 

Vlahovic has been linked with several clubs this summer, including Milan, as Juventus are looking to get rid of his hefty salary. The Serbian earns €12m net per season, which costs the Bianconeri around €22m gross, but finding him a new club has been far from easy.

While there are clubs interested, high demands from the striker’s entourage has complicated negotiations, not to mention that Juventus would like to get a decent amount for the player. A contract termination, as such, is out of the question.

Price tag reduced to €12m

According to today’s edition of Il Giornale, as cited by MilanNews, Juventus have agreed to slash Vlahovic’s price tag from €20m to €10-12m after a meeting with his agent. During said meeting, the Bianconeri ruled out a contract termination but as a compromise, they lowered the price.

Milan are keeping a close eye on the situation, per the newspaper, but the biggest issue remains the player’s salary. He would have to come down significantly, even if a €12m transfer fee would give the Rossoneri a bit more leeway for the salary.

It remains to be seen if an agreement can be reached between all parties, but what’s clear is that Milan are watching the situation closely. They need a striker before the season starts and Allegri is a big fan of the player.
