Vlahovic attracts Atletico Madrid interest as Juventus wait for offers

Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus FC looks on during the Serie A Enilive match between SS Lazio and Juventus FC at Stadio Olimpico on May 10, 2025 in Rome, Italy. Juventus wait for offers for Dusan Vlahovic this summer, and according to Gazzetta, the 25-year-old has attracted interest from Atletico Madrid. Juventus striker Vlahovic is on Atletico Madrid’s radar, according to the latest report from Gazzetta dello Sport. The Serbia international is Juventus’ leading scorer this season, but his contract runs out in 2026 and he’s unwilling to pen a new deal. Vlahovic’s salary automatically rose to €12m per season, and the club wants to spread his wages over a longer deal, but the Serbia international doesn’t seem interested in this option. Therefore, the Bianconeri will have to sell the 25-year-o...

Tudor Hails Juventus Grit After Stalemate in Bologna Showdown

BOLOGNA, ITALY - MAY 4: Igor Tudor of Juventus during the Serie A match between Bologna and Juventus at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on May 4, 2025 in Bologna, Italy.

The two center-forwards had started together versus Parma due to Teun Koopmeiners’ absence and Kenan Yildiz’s lack of fitness, but the experiment didn’t go well. The Serb bowed out at half-time.The striker botched a finish in front of the goalie early on but quickly redeemed himself on a counter.

Dusan Vlahovic set to miss Monza game due to thigh injury

Dusan Vlahovic participates in the Serie A 2024-2025 match between Juventus and Lecce in Turin, Italy, on April 12, 2025. When Dusan Vlahovic was subbed off at the half of Juventus’ loss to Parma on Wednesday, it at first appeared to be a tactical choice by Igor Tudor following a tough first half for his No. 9. But once Tudor took the mic after his first loss as Juve manager, we found out it was for a very different reason. On Thursday, Vlahovic became the latest player to stroll through the doors at J Medical following an injury he suffered the day before. And the end verdict of said tests? The short answer: Every sign points to us not seeing Vlahovic this weekend when Juventus host last-place Monza on Sunday at the Allianz Stadium. Beyond that, it could very well be anybody’s guess...

Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray looks on during the Super Lig match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce at Rams Park, Istanbul, Turkey on February 24, 2025. Juventus have been eyeing Victor Osimhen ever since he joined Galatasaray last summer. He continues to be at the top of their wish list at the position despite the obvious difficulties in signing him from Napoli, Tuttomercatoweb informs. The Bianconeri don’t anticipate keeping their two current strikers. They’ll settle for a low fee for Dusan Vlahovic. A €20M income would be enough to avoid a loss. His acquisition has been almost entirely amortized. They’ll attempt to keep Randal Kolo Muani on loan with an option or obligation to buy. However, they wouldn’t insist too much if they didn’t like PSG’s terms. Juventus are ready to rival...

Juventus Changing Their Mind About Keeping Two Loanees

Igor Tudor participates in the Serie A 2024-2025 match between Juventus and Lecce in Turin, Italy, on April 12, 2025. Igor Tudor singled out negatively the players who subbed in versus Lecce, which might not spell well for the Juventus future of two of them, Randal Kolo Muani and Francisco Conceiçao, who are on loan. According to La Stampa (via Tuttomercatoweb), the chances of the attacking duo staying put permanently are dimming. They might have sensed it, which is affecting them. In addition, the new coach doesn’t need to rotate much without the cups, and his top options have done well. Juventus might nip the problem in the bud and send Kolo Muani and Conceiçao back to PSG and Porto before the start of the Club World Cup to spare some awkwardness and uncertainty.

Juve continues to track Ligue 1 attacking midfielder

Edon ZHEGROVA of Lille during the Ligue 1 McDonald's match between Marseille and Lille at Orange Velodrome on December 14, 2024 in Marseille, France. Edon Zhegrova has spent much of 2025 on the sidelines due to a serious injury sustained towards the end of last year, halting what had been a highly impressive run of form for the talented winger at Lille.

Juventus Loanee Unlikely to Be Bought Out by Porto

Tiago Djalo of FC Porto during the Europa League football match between AS Roma and FC Porto at Olimpico stadium. Rome (Italy), February 20th, 2025.

He has been deployed basically only in the Europa League. According to Tuttomercatoweb, the defender will most likely head back to Turin in the summer.
