According to Italian outlets كورييري ديلو سبورتand Tutto Juve, the Bianconeri believe that Vlahovic’s hefty wage demands have become a burden, and the club wants to reduce their financial strain. With no longer pursuing the striker after their successful signing of Victor Boniface, Juventus have pinned their hopes on a potential Newcastle bid.

Should Isak complete his move to Anfield, Newcastle would be left in urgent need of a replacement. That’s where Vlahovic comes into the picture, with Juventus hoping to take advantage of this opening in the final days of the transfer window.

Despite Juventus’ efforts to move Vlahovic, the striker’s situation is far from straightforward. The 25-year-old has been adamant about his desire to stay in Turin until the end of his contract, which runs through the current season. Speaking to Radio Sportiva journalist Fabiana Della Valle discussed Vlahovic’s professional attitude and clear ambitions for his future.

“Well, then I have to say that he doesn’t have any major problems in the locker room because he’s always been very professional in training, and he still is—Tudor said so, by the way,” he said.

“A few days ago, when the fans booed him during the friendly against Next Gen, he’s someone who makes his teammates like him. He was clear with Juventus, both he and his agent. They said they want to earn, and rightly so, the €12m he’s entitled to under his contract in his last season at Juventus. So, he doesn’t want to leave, he wants to stay until his contract expires, and he still has high ambitions. The , for example, is a destination he’d like, or maybe مع "."

With Callum Wilson departing the club and Alexander Isak’s potential exit looming, the Magpies are under pressure to secure a proven goal scorer. However, time is running out, and they may need to act fast if they want to add Vlahovic to their ranks. They have already seen their £40m ($54m) transfer bid for striker Yoane Wissa turned down, which further complicates matters for the Tyneside club.

While Vlahovic’s determination to remain in is clear, the lure of the Premier League may eventually sway his decision, particularly if he’s offered a lucrative deal from Newcastle. They have football to offer as well, which could ultimately tip the scales in their favour, if Isak’s transfer to Liverpoolhas a domino effect on the market.
