Dusan Vlahovic remains without a club and this has attracted interest from Everton.
Juventus failed to secure the striker to a new deal by the end of June. Despite their best attempts, they couldn’t find an agreement with his entourage as the player’s demands were too high.
This came after the Serbian did well towards the end of last season. He found the net four times in the last four games of the campaign, making a mark right after recovery from a injury.
Sport Witness have previously covered how Newcastle United made contact to sign the striker. With the Magpies yet to intensify their move, Everton who have joined the list of suitors.
No obvious destination yet
TuttoSport report Juve and Vlahovic are back in talks. The Old Lady are ready to put forward a two-year deal worth €6.5m per season and a signing-on bonus of around €5m per season.
Despite that, there is a significant gap between the parties and this is allowing other clubs to come in.
Everton are ‘considering making an offer’, with Besiktas also keen. Barcelona are on the sidelines and are yet to make an approach, possibly allowing the Toffees an advantage in the race.

The player isn’t keen on move to Goodison Park as he is waiting understand if Juve can meet his demands. If they can’t, he will look for another club.
Everton’s challenge would be the striker’s wage demands. The player wants a wage of around €9m per season, while seeking a significant signing-on bonus, which is proving to be an issue for every club.
Our take: Ambitious, but not without risk
Vlahovic’s wage demands are problematic and his fitness worries are also a red flag.
He missed three months due to an adductor injury last season and also faced a calf issue. In the 2024/25 campaign, he faced other muscle injuries that impacted his form and consistency.
These issues have impacted the 26-year-old’s pace and mobility in the final third. Generally, Vlahovic is a striker who thrives on making runs in-behind and he has slowed down due to injuries. He can still guarantee goals but fitness problems could yet continue.
