Reports in Italy claim that Turkish giants Besiktas are making an attempt to steal Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus. They are willing to offer the Serbian a double-digit salary, a solid signing bonus – and a reunion with their former Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano.
As things stand, Vlahovic will leave Juventus on a free transfer at the end of June. The 26-year-old is out of contract despite his status as one of Serie A’s most expensive signings of all time – and the most expensive January signing in league history.

Juventus have made several attempts to tie Vlahovic to a new contract during the 2025–26 season. According to recent reports, they have made a final offer for a one-year contract worth €8 million per season – a reduction from the €12 million he earned during the season.
Besiktas with offensive – but Vlahovic hesitates
Now Besiktas are making moves to persuade Vlahovic to leave Juventus this summer. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Turkish giants are willing to offer:
- 10 million euros in annual salary
- €5 million signing bonus
- A reunion with Vincenzo Italiano – the coach who got the best out of him at Fiorentina
Under Italiano, Vlahovic scored 17 league goals in 21 games in the first half of the 2021–22 season – the most productive period of the striker’s career.
Still, the Serbian hesitates. According to the newspaper, he is taking his time to make a decision, because he is not entirely convinced about the idea of moving to Turkey at this stage in his career.
Vlahovic and his entourage are still waiting for an offer from one of Europe’s most prestigious clubs – at the level of Barcelona, Atlético Madrid or Bayern Munich.
