Milan: Milan & Naples may consider DV9 in the later summer window, Inter Milan is only willing to wait for visa-free

Juventus has officially announced that he has exempted David from signing, and the "Milan Sports" also analyzed the future of Vlahovic.

A recent update posted by Vlahovic on social media is intriguing. The Serbian player posted a black and white photo of him wearing a hood and showing the number 9 with a eye-catching display. This may be a hidden statement against the possibility of new player Jonathan David taking over his No. 9 jersey.

The Canadian striker is the same age as him, but he is even later in the giants - the data performance and efficiency of the Lille period make him a key signing for Juventus to achieve qualitative change and upgrade. From the perspective of technical characteristics, David could theoretically partner with Vlahovic or Muani, but based on technical and tactical and economic logic, he would become Vlahovic's successor.

Juventus provided David with a five-year contract of 6 million euros annual salary + 2 million floating bonus. This move directly bypassed the issue of Vlahovic: if the player does not accept salary cuts and renews, he will be excluded from the plan. Although the contract includes a loyalty bonus (with a basic annual salary of 8 million euros, the total revenue at the end of next season will reach 12 million euros at the end of next season), the Serbian's book cost is as high as nearly 20 million euros.

The current transfer progress is not as smooth as the club expected, because the players are very picky about their next company: Vlahovic has rejected the offer of Saudi Arabia and Fenerbahce (the latter offers an annual salary of 10 million and is willing to pay a transfer fee of 30 million), and insists on staying in European football. However, the contact between his agents in Spain and England has not been translated into substantial negotiations so far.

Some Serie A clubs are on the wait-and-see attitude, but have not taken formal actions to avoid triggering bidding. Most clubs are preparing to consider loaning from Juventus at the end of the summer window, thereby avoiding the pressure on players' full salary this season. AC Milan's deal may be advanced in the later stage, provided that Juventus is willing to share part of the salary; Inter Milan will only consider potential visa-free possibilities in the future; if Naples is in a situation similar to Osmeon leaving the team, they may seek signings in August.

To facilitate the loan, Juventus needs to extend Vlahovic's contract for one year (or add termination clauses) to reduce amortization costs. Although this plan is feasible, it is still better to sell it directly. However, Juventus has not received any credible quotes yet.
