Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic: From Recovery to Contract Talks
Exciting news as Dusan Vlahovic gears up for his return to action with Juventus after a lengthy absence. The forward's progress in training signals a potential comeback for the Udinese match. Read on for the latest updates and contract negotiations.
Great news coming from Continassa: the Serbian will return to the pitch after more than three months. Important news from Juventus' morning training session: as reported by Il Bianconero, Dusan Vlahovic completed the entire session with the group. The Serbian centre forward has therefore fully recovered and just needs to regain match fitness and condition: he is therefore on course to be called up for the weekend's match against Udinese. And who knows, Spalletti may even decide to give him some playing time in that case.BACK WITH UDINESE - The muscle problem is now almost completely overcome, but the impression is that the medical staff want to be cautious after such a long break. Spalletti predicted his return to the bench in his pre-match press conference, set for the match against Udinese on 14 March.THE CONTRACT - These last few weeks leading up to the end of the season will also be decisive for Vlahovic's future, whose contract with Juventus expires on 30 June. The lacklustre performances of David and Openda could push the Bianconeri management to speed up the Serbian's contract extension, provided that the player accepts a substantial reduction in his salary from the current £12 million. This figure is no longer sustainable, especially if Juventus fails to qualify for the Champions League: in a sense, therefore, it could be Vlahovic who 'decides' his own future with his performances.
Vlahovic's Recovery Journey
After more than three months on the sidelines, Dusan Vlahovic has finally completed a full training session with his Juventus teammates. The Serbian striker is on track to make a comeback, with the Udinese match looming as a possible return date. Manager Spalletti has hinted at Vlahovic's inclusion in the squad, showcasing confidence in his recovery.
Return Against Udinese
While Vlahovic's muscle issue seems nearly resolved, the medical staff at Juventus are proceeding cautiously due to the long layoff. Fans can expect to see Vlahovic back in the squad for the Udinese clash on 14th March. His potential involvement in the game hints at a possible on-field return, eagerly awaited by supporters.
Contract Negotiations and Future Prospects
As Vlahovic inches closer to full fitness, attention turns to his contract situation with Juventus. With his current deal expiring on 30th June, talks of an extension are underway. The club may expedite negotiations, contingent on Vlahovic accepting a salary reduction from his current £12 million. The forward's performances will play a pivotal role in shaping his future, especially in light of Juventus' Champions League qualification prospects.
