Fiorentina are reportedly prepared to sell Dusan Vlahovic in January for at least €60m, so Juventus will aim to raise funds with Dejan Kulusevski’s exit.
The Serbia international rejected a contract extension worth €4m per season, largely because his agent wanted a huge commission and exclusive rights to negotiate a future transfer.
Because of that, and with the current deal running down in June 2023, the Viola are ready to sell Vlahovic in the January transfer window.
Although the asking price is €75m, which would’ve also been the release clause in the new contract, Calciomercato.it reports Fiorentina are prepared to accept €60m including performance-related bonuses.
Juve remain the favourites, with Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City all keeping a close eye on the situation after summer swoops failed.
The Bianconeri need to sell in order to raise the necessary funds and Calciomercato.com point to Kulusevski, who has dropped down to the bottom of the pecking order under coach Max Allegri.
The 21-year-old Sweden international was purchased from Atalanta in January 2020 for €35m, but has not made much of an impact in Turin.
His position caused problems, used out wide or as a striker, but never particularly delivering in any role.
There could be a domino effect, as if Juventus can sell Kulusevski to Tottenham via their former director Fabio Paratici, then that would also rule out one of the main contenders for Vlahovic.

60 million for Kulusevski? Good luck.
They don’t need to get 60 million, all they will offer is 15 million over 2 years LOAN period with obligation to buy and the rest of payments spread over next 25 years, and rocco will take it because thats what fiorentina do for juve since the times of BAGGIO, as far as the Milan supportes boo remember what Fiorentina fans did when Baggio was sold to the black and white snakes, Riots for 2 days over 50 injured, perspective is a funny thing when its not your team being insulted
Why would Fiorentina sell him mid-season? The contract ends in June 2023, not June 2022. They will sell him this summer.
