Dusan Vlahovic has returned to Juventus’ training centre to finish rehab after December surgery, but his contract expires in June amid interest from Milan, Chelsea and Newcastle. For bettors: he’s unlikely to play before March, making him a risky pick for anytime goalscorer or starters—consider avoiding him in short-term scoring markets and watch for official fitness updates before placing transfer or futures bets.
Dusan Vlahovic returns to Juventus to complete injury recovery
Dusan Vlahovic has resumed his rehabilitation at Juventus’ Continassa training centre as he works to regain full fitness following surgery in December. The Serbia striker spent the initial weeks of his recovery in Belgrade with a personal coach and is now back with the club’s medical and conditioning staff.
Recovery timeline and fitness outlook
Vlahovic is not yet training on the pitch but is following a tailored programme with Juventus fitness coaches. The club aims to have him ready for the final two months of the season, with a return to competitive action unlikely before March if recovery progresses as planned.
Contract situation and transfer interest
Vlahovic’s contract with Juventus expires at the end of the season, and renewal talks have stalled. The forward currently earns around €12m per year and has resisted salary cuts, complicating negotiations.
Clubs tracking the forward
Several top clubs are reportedly monitoring his situation. Milan, Chelsea and Newcastle are among the teams linked to a possible free transfer in June. Milan faces a potential wage-cap issue, with their top earners on significantly lower salaries, while other big European clubs have also shown past interest.
Transfer implications and likely scenarios
If Vlahovic leaves as a free agent, his wage demands will be a decisive factor in where he signs. Clubs with greater wage flexibility or those willing to build their attack around him are the likeliest suitors. Alternatively, a contract renewal hinges on Juventus matching his current pay expectations or finding a compromise.
Sporting impact and betting considerations
On the pitch, Juventus must plan without Vlahovic for several weeks, which affects selection and goal markets.
For punters, avoid backing Vlahovic in anytime-scorer or starting XI bets until he completes on-pitch training and Juventus issues a clear fitness update.
In transfer markets and summer futures, consider his wage demands as a key variable when evaluating likely destinations.
