There are growing rumours that Juventus could be prepared to allow Dusan Vlahovic to leave the club in January, but journalist Daniele Garbo believes such a decision would be misguided.
Although the Bianconeri had considered selling him in the summer, the Serbian striker has been in excellent form this season. His performances have inevitably attracted attention, and there are suggestions that other clubs may attempt to secure his signature when the transfer window opens in January. Reports claim Juventus remain open to offers.
The striker is on a substantial salary, which places added pressure on the club’s finances. It has also become clear that he does not wish to extend his stay beyond the current campaign, making the possibility of him leaving as a free agent a realistic scenario if no action is taken. For this reason, some argue that it would make financial sense to sell him in January, particularly as he is set to earn around 12 million euros by the end of the season.
Financial Logic Versus Sporting Needs
From a business perspective, cashing in during the winter market could appear to be a sensible approach. Juventus would recoup a fee while avoiding the risk of losing him for nothing. The club must also balance its accounts, and moving on one of its highest earners would ease some of the financial strain.
