Dusan Vlahovic has been linked with a move to Besiktas as he struggles to agree a new deal with Juventus, with [Tuttomercatoweb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/ricompone-tandem-italiano-vlahovic-besiktas-prepara-maxi-offerta-convincerlo-2245791) reporting that he could be open to reuniting with Vincenzo Italiano at the Turkish club.
The pair enjoyed a successful spell together at Fiorentina, and the manager got the best out of the Serbian before Juve moved to sign him in 2022.
DV9 has never quite returned to the level of form he displayed while working with Italiano in Florence, and he may now have the opportunity to reunite with the coach once again.
Juventus Preparing For Vlahovic Exit
------------------------------------
The report claims there is [little hope of Juventus keeping the striker](https://talkjuve.com/2026/06/19/juventus-make-a-final-decision-on-the-future-of-vlahovic/), even under the club’s new leadership, because he has not agreed to reduce his salary demands, which means he is expected to leave.
Several major clubs have been linked with a move for Vlahovic in recent months, but he has not yet reached an agreement with any side regarding his future.
That uncertainty has opened the door for Besiktas to emerge as a realistic option, especially with the Turkish club determined to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign.
Besiktas Interested In Reunion
------------------------------
Besiktas reportedly consider Vlahovic one of their most important transfer targets, with Italiano pushing for the move as the club aims to challenge for major honours.
A reunion between the striker and the manager could appeal to both parties given the success they previously enjoyed together at Fiorentina.
The financial aspect of the transfer could also work in Besiktas’ favour, as clubs in Turkey have shown a willingness to offer significant salaries in order to attract high-profile players.
Recent moves involving stars such as Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sane have demonstrated the growing financial power of Turkish football, and Vlahovic could potentially benefit from a similarly lucrative proposal if negotiations progress further this summer.
Juventus are expected to continue planning for life without the Serbian, while Besiktas monitor the situation closely in the hope of completing one of the biggest signings of their recent history.
