Juventus hold key meeting to finalise Vlahovic transfer

Juventus directors will meet Dusan Vlahovic’s entourage in Turin today to finalise the striker’s move to the Allianz Stadium.

The 21-year-old is on the verge of joining the Bianconeri in a €75m deal. He tested positive for COVID last week, so he hasn’t yet received the green light to travel up north to undergo his medical examinations with the Old Lady.

Should he not recover by the deadline day on Monday, Vlahovic would sign his contract remotely without having his medical checks, given that those undergone at the beginning of the season with Fiorentina are valid until the end of the campaign.

He will need to undergo post-COVID checks, but those can be done after his signature.

Sky Sport Italia and Calciomercato.com report Juventus chiefs will meet Vlahovic’s agents today to finalise the deal.

The striker has already reached an agreement in principle with the Old Lady over a €7m-a-year deal for the next four and a half years.

Vlahovic was the second most prolific striker in Europe’s top five leagues in 2021 and is the current Serie A leading scorer with 17 goals in 21 appearances with Fiorentina.
