Dusan Vlahovic is now without a club after his Juventus contract expired at midnight on June 30. The Serbia international spent recent days in Istanbul negotiating with Turkish side Besiktas, including discussions with new coach Vincenzo Italiano, but the clubs could not reach an agreement.
Vlahovic had anticipated offers from multiple clubs, but Besiktas remains the sole concrete suitor. Juventus have made a contract proposal at a reduced salary from his previous €12 million per season package.
The forward's free agent status allows any club to sign him without a transfer fee, provided an employment agreement is finalized. Juventus lose their leading striker at a critical juncture as they reshape their attack during the summer window.
Vlahovic's market value may shift sharply given his availability and the limited interest shown by top European clubs so far. Transfer odds for Turkish and secondary European destinations could tighten as clubs assess a deal with minimal acquisition cost.
